Tung stepped down last year because he said the team needed a qualified foreign expert to take them to the next level. However, the Vietnam Federation of Volleyball hasn’t found a suitable expert for the team, so the federation invited him to lead the team once again.
Last year, Coach Tung, who was born in the northern province of Thai Binh, helped the squad rank fifth in the Asian tournament and earn a silver medal in the 28th Southeast Asian Games in Singapore.
Vietnam will participate in the upcoming VTV Cup 2016 and Asian Cup Volleyball Championship 2016.
