Fresh from leading this Vietnam Under-23 side to the Southeast Asian Games gold medal last month, Park is looking to take the momentum into AFCU23.
Vietnam will take on United Arab Emirates (UAE) in their opening Group D match of the 2020 AFC U23 Championship in Buriram, as they seek to match or better what they did in the same tournament two years ago where they went all the way to the final.
UAE will not be strange opponents for Park, who has already masterminded one win over the Emirates in recent times albeit one with the senior side in the 2022 World Cup qualifications.
