Yuval Sade signed and made Vietnam attractive for Israelis
After being impressed by the city and the club, the midfielder signed a two-year contract with Hanoi FC and will earn $300,000 net per season before bonuses. Israeli players and coaches are exploring the possibility of following in his footsteps.
Now it is official: Yuval Sade has become the first Israeli footballer to play in Vietnam. Sade signed a contract with Hanoi FC, under which he will earn $300,000 net per season before bonuses.
Sade signed through his agent Idan Ben Abu, who was with him in Hanoi this week. The contract is for two years, with both parties having an option to release themselves from the agreement after one year.
As recalled, last summer Sade moved to Romania and signed with the club CFR Cluj. After a few weeks, the club encountered financial difficulties and released the coach and the sporting director who brought him in. The players were told that they could be released from their agreements if they found other teams, and then the offer from Vietnam arrived.
Sade landed in Hanoi a week ago to get an impression of the city, the club, and the people, and decided to sign the contract offered to him. The player will be able to reach a sum close to $400,000 net per season with bonuses and various grants.
His arrival in Vietnam as the first Israeli and with such a contract has made the league there attractive for many Israeli players, and even for coaches who have been trying for several days to check the possibility of moving to this league as well.
