Quy Nhon United, the former runner-up of the V.League, has caused a stir in the football community by announcing the simultaneous departure of 18 players. This decision is particularly notable as most of the departing players were on loan from Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL). The official fan page of Quy Nhon United recently shared the news, highlighting that among those leaving are notable names such as Phan Ngoc Tin, Pham Ngo Minh Quang, Vo Hoang Uy, and several others.

In addition to these players, the club also bids farewell to key staff members, including Technical Director Bui Doan Quang Huy and Head Coach Trinh Duy Quang. This mass exodus marks one of the largest personnel changes in the club's history, indicating a significant restructuring as they look to improve their performance in upcoming seasons.

The club expressed gratitude towards the departing players, acknowledging their contributions during their time with Quy Nhon United. The announcement stated, "The 2025/2026 season has concluded with many memorable milestones for Quy Nhon United. The achievements were made possible through the efforts and dedication of all team members. We sincerely thank the players who have completed their journey with us. Although each of you will embark on a new path, your contributions and memorable moments will always be cherished by the club, teammates, and fans. You will forever be a part of Quy Nhon United's history and development journey. We wish you success in your future endeavors!"

As the club prepares for this new chapter, they are actively participating in the transfer market to bolster their squad. Furthermore, Quy Nhon United plans to provide opportunities for local young players to compete at the first team level. Reports suggest that former Dong Nai head coach Huynh Quoc Anh is likely to take the helm as the new head coach for the upcoming season.

In the recently concluded 2025/2026 National First Division, Quy Nhon United finished with 35 points, placing fourth in the standings. This result is considered acceptable for the club, especially given the challenges they faced with their squad throughout the season.
