Now Taishan is facing a double-front battle again, but the situation is completely different. Tarzan was under a lot of pressure when they lost back-to-back games in the Chinese Super League. If Thai Premier League side Bangkok United can't be beaten again in the elite AFC Champions League qualifying round, then the club really can't face the fans.
Therefore, there is no way back for Choi Kang-hee now. Taishan must win Bangkok United at home and must also get a huge victory. Only then can Choi Kang-hee get rid of the crisis of confidence. Otherwise, the club really can't explain to the fans if the old Choi doesn't step down.
And once Choi Kang-hee is dismissed, his Korean coaching team will also leave together. In this case, Taishan club must choose the team's fire-fighting coach in advance. According to some domestic sports media reports, Taishan Club will probably let the team's meritorious veteran Han Peng come here to lead Shandong Taishan to complete the rest of the season. Wait until the end of the season, and then hire a foreign coach to take over next season's Shandong Taishan.
Han Peng, 41, from Jinan New Century Soccer School, entered Taishan in 1999, learning from Zhang Haitao. 2002, Han Peng officially moved up to the Taishan team and quickly gained a professional league sub goal. Playing for Taishan for 14 seasons, Han Peng scored 71 league goals and contributed 13 assists for Taishan. He was the best local center forward in the Chinese Super League that year.
After his retirement, Han Peng started to work as the head coach of Taishan's ladder team. Currently, he is the head coach of Taishan B team and is leading Taishan B team to participate in the China B team competition. It can be said that Han Peng is the best candidate for the current Taishan fire coach. As the team's meritorious veteran, Han Peng can manage the team's locker room well and inspire the team's morale again. Of course, whether Han Peng can accept the command of Taishan team depends on whether Choi Kang-hee can be successfully dismissed next week...
