Becamex Ho Chi Minh City officially appointed Huỳnh Kesley Alves to their coaching staff on 12 October, SGGP reported. Head coach Gerard Albadalejo had introduced the former striker before the Lâm Đồng match, where he supported the staff from the stands. The club hopes his experience will improve attacking organisation, movement and combinations. Kesley previously served on the team's staff; this return is a new personnel decision as preparations continue for the next fixture.
