French coach Philippe Troussier signed a three-year deal on Monday to lead Vietnam’s football team and immediately targeted a first World Cup appearance for his new side.
The 67-year-old, who succeeds South Korea’s Park Hang-seo, has coached two dozen national and club teams during his long career.
He led Japan to the Asian Cup title in 2000 and was in charge of the co-hosts at the 2002 World Cup.
