    The stay was a pretty short one (2 matches), but when the team struggles, ax the foreigner:

    Quảng Ninh Coal have ended their contract with American striker Sydney Rivera after just two rounds of the Wake-up 247 V.League 1.

    Quảng Ninh suffered a 5-0 loss in their first match and struggled to 0-0 draw against Sông Lam Nghệ An in their second. After failing to score in the two matches, the decision was made to fire Rivera.

    Quảng Ninh Coal is in the top tier of Vietnam football.

    He's with Police FC in Bangladesh:

    Police FC moved one step closer to the quarter-final of the TVS Federation Cup 2019 with their first win of the season, beating an underprepared Arambagh Krira Sangha 3-1 in the second Group A match at Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka Saturday.

    American-born Puerto Rican striker Sidney Rivera netted a brace and substitute forward Mohammad Shadhin added the other, while a Jakir Hossain Jiku shot led the consolation own goal for Arambagh, who have turned from mediocre to minnow after the casino crackdown in the capital.​

    EDIT: I think that makes him a teammate of this guy:

    Truly, it's the world's game.



    He is a big dude, but he looks like an absolute monster out there!

    The goal at 2:00 in that video is probably one of those the article above calls "world class."
