Montenegrin Bandovic's departure comes on the heels of Hanoi FC's poor start to their continenal campaign.

 

They suffered a 4-2 defeat against Korea Republic's Phang Steelers with defending champions Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan beating them 6-0 last Wednesday.

 

Hanoi FC are away to China PR's Wuhan Three Towns FC on Matchday Three of the AFC Champions League 2023/24 on October 24.
