Things are looking up in the Chinese Super League and teams are actively preparing for next season. Last night, Shanghai Seaport Football Club released an announcement, announcing that Head Coach Javier has officially left after his contract expired. And Qingdao Hainiu FC will also change their head coach as the Antonio head coach was not recognized. These two Spanish head coaches, who used to coach Henan Jianye together, are now facing the same fate of being fired at the same time.
Javier and Antonio, one is an experienced and famous coach and the other is a dynamic young coach, who once achieved great results with Henan Jianye and served as the team's head coach, and thus were recognized and favored by other Chinese Super League teams. However, in the soccer world, results are the only criterion. Their departure is undoubtedly a negation of their coaching achievements.
Regarding Javier's departure, Li Xuan, who is a media personality, took to social media to voice her opinion. She wrote on Weibo, "The possibility of Javier leaving Henan is high, but he won't be recruited by other Chinese Super League teams. Qingdao shouldn't consider him either after the two teams change management. As I said before, West Coast will probably hire a Japanese coach, now it depends on what Sea Cow will choose. Although Manatee has a good relationship with Harbour, he really doesn't have to take on this responsibility."
Through Li Xuan's words, we can find out that Javier's coaching career in the Chinese Super League may be coming to an end, while his compatriot Antonio may also see his dismissal. It is a mockery that these two Spanish managers used to coach together at Henan Jianye, but now they are facing the situation of dismissal at the same time. Spanish coaches have really taken quite a beating in the realm of Chinese soccer coaching.
However, this is the cruelty of soccer. In the Premier League, in addition to reaching team results and targets, failure to meet the club's overall expectations can lead to dismissal. Javier and Antonio's dismissal best illustrates this harsh reality. In any case, we wish Javier and Antonio well for the future and thank them for their contribution to Chinese soccer. At the same time, we also look forward to the emergence of more excellent coaches in the Chinese Super League to further promote the development of Chinese soccer.
