Coach Chen Yun Fat will return to coach the national women's team, said Nguyen Trong Hy, chairman of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF).

Hy confirmed that after discussions between the VFF, the Chinese Football Federation and Dalian club where Chen is working, the coach agreed to sign a contract to be head manager of the team.

Hy said Chen will sign a renewable two-year contract.

Chen first came to Vietnam in 2007 and led the women's team to a gold medal at the 25th Southeast Asian Games last December.

They also made the final round of the 2010 Asian Women's Football Championship.

His contract ended earlier this year after three years in Vietnam./.
