Recently, there are rumors that Shanghai Shenhua is about to change their coach. Although Wu Jingui led Shenhua to win the FA Cup, he still could not escape his dismissal. However, for Shanghai fans, they are more concerned about the future direction of the team.
According to media reports, Shenhua has decided to replace former Russian national team head coach Slutsky to coach Shanghai Shenhua. This news surprised many Shenhua fans as Wu Jingui's performance was not bad. Slutsky's coaching philosophy is completely different from Wu Jingui's, and his arrival will bring a new tactical philosophy and coaching style to Shenhua.
It is reported that Slutsky will officially join Shenhua at the end of this month. After taking over the team, he will first adjust the coaching team, Wu Jingui's coaching team will be replaced. In addition, Slutsky will also bring two Russian assistant coaches to join Shanghai Shenhua. At the same time, in order to manage the team's locker room, Slutsky will also invite Shenhua veteran Xie Hui as an assistant coach.
Xie Hui returns to Shanghai in his role not only as an assistant coach but also as the team's spiritual leader. Xie Hui has been with Shenhua for many years and has achieved great things for the team, winning the A-League Championship in 1995. At the same time, there are rumors that Xie Hui is also the recommender of Slutsky to coach at Shenhua, which will undoubtedly make Xie Hui's position at Shenhua more stable.
As an assistant coach, Xie Hui will help Slutsky develop tactics and training programs. At the same time, he can also utilize his experience and ability to help the team develop better. In addition, Xie Hui will also send a famous message to his new owner, Jiuzhi Group - his love interest in Dalian, Lin Liangming.
Lin Liang was a big fish in the transfer market next winter, favored by many wealthy families. Considering how kind Xie Hui has been to him, Lin Liangming will likely join his teacher Xie Hui at Shanghai Shenhua.
In addition, Shenhua club will introduce more new aid and further adjust the team's main lineup. Firstly, new assistance is needed to strengthen the replacements for the wing backs and center backs; secondly, the series organization of the midfield has agreed to join Shenhua Gao Tianyi can take on this heavy responsibility; finally, Dai Weijun's position can be retreated to replace the old Wu Xi.
Although the addition of Slutsky will bring a big change to Shenhua, some Shanghai soccer insiders believe that Slutsky is just a puppet coach invited by Jiuzhi Group to replace Wu Jingui. Once his leadership performs poorly, Slutsky will be replaced as head coach by Xie Hui.
In the past two years, Xie Hui has proved himself in Dalian. Compared to Wu Jingui and foreign coaches, he is more passionate and familiar with the environment of the Chinese Super League and the young players in the team. Shenhua is rebuilding and needs a mid-generation coach like Xie Hui to lead the way. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties at the club, Shenhua will be able to achieve better results next season and hit the CSL title again in the coming years!
