Just before the match between the national soccer team and Saudi Arabia, famous media personality Liu Jianhong talked about the coaching position of the national soccer team. He said, "Now Ivan is leading the national soccer team again. I think it's a bit troublesome. He can't lead, or you can change the coach now. You announce Ivan's dismissal now and then the Chinese coaching staff will bring a game. There are three coaches who can be the interim coaches for the Chinese team to see if the CFA has that ability. These three coaches are the coaches of Shanghai Port, Shanghai Shenhua and Shandong Taishan, which means you can lead the club and the national team."
Shanghai Seaport's head coach is Australian Muscat, whose coaching ability is widely recognized. After he took over, many players of the Seaport team, including Wu Lei, have been activated again. Currently, under Muscat's leadership, Shanghai Seaport is ranked first in the Chinese Super League.
Shanghai Shenhua coach is Russian Slutsky. At the beginning of his tenure, the Russian was questioned by many outsiders, but his leadership results have been very stable and he is currently ranked second in the CSL. The head coach of Shandong Taishan is Korean Choi Kang-hee, who is also the most controversial head coach. At the beginning of the season, he led Taishan into the top eight of the Asian Champions League, but at one point this season he led the team to back-to-back losses. However, Taishan has recently come out of the doldrums, winning the FA Cup, the Asian Champions League and the league.
If these three men were able to coach the Chinese men's soccer team, they would surely have a very good understanding of the strengths and standards of the players in the league. But one thing to consider is that our national team doesn't seem to allow part-time jobs. In basketball, there is a precedent of Du Feng being both the coach of the Guangdong men's basketball team and the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, but in the end he could only choose one of the two. In the end, Du Feng chose to coach the Guangdong men's basketball team. Guo Shiqiang took office this summer after coaching the Guangzhou men's basketball team. He also resigned from the club after taking over as coach of the Chinese men's basketball team. If the FA intends to invite Cui Kangxi, Muscat and Slutsky to coach the national soccer team, it means that the person must first resign from the club.
