Qingdao West Coast Football Club recently announced an important personnel appointment, the club's deputy general manager Zhou Xin will also serve as the head of the first team's Chinese coaching team, a decision that marks the first time in the history of the West Coast team to establish this position. The move is aimed at further strengthening the team's management and training, and enhancing the team's overall competitiveness.
According to Qingdao's Sun Fei, despite this new management change, Japanese head coach Hisashi Kurosaki's position has not been affected and he will continue to lead the team in all competitions. The addition of Zhou Xin will allow for closer collaboration between the Chinese coaching staff and the foreign coaching team, working together to develop more targeted and adaptive training programs and game strategies for the team.
In the announcement, West Coast Football Club expressed its trust in Zhou Xin's ability and believed that under his leadership, the team could achieve even better results. All members of the club will fully support Zhou Xin's work and work together to achieve the club's development goals.
Zhou Xin has a deep connection with Qingdao soccer. He was the head coach of West Coast in last season's Central League and showed excellent coaching ability when the team faced challenges. Although he resigned as head coach with 20 rounds left in last season, he is back again this season to continue to contribute to West Coast as the head of the Chinese coaching team.
Zhou's appointment is also reminiscent of that of Su Maozhen, the head of the Chinese coaching staff at Qingdao's other Chinese Super League team, Hainiu. Su Maozhen has been in this position for two consecutive seasons, and his successes will undoubtedly provide a valuable reference for Zhou Xin. Both coaches have a history of leading Qingdao's professional men's soccer team to a successful run in the First Division, and their addition to the team will undoubtedly inject more vitality and hope into Qingdao's soccer scene.
