According to Hong Kong media reports, Hong Kong, China men's soccer head coach Anderson has officially announced his resignation this morning.
At a press conference held at noon today, Anderson said: "After careful consideration, I have made this difficult decision to resign as the head coach of Hong Kong, China. First of all, I would like to thank the Football Association of Hong Kong, China for their support, especially Mr. Pei Junqi and Mr. Fok Kai Shan, etc., who have given me a lot of support in the past period. I would also like to thank all the staff who have worked with me, as well as all the players, and the fans who have been supporting us everywhere."
The Hong Kong Football Association of China tried to keep me on and they offered me a new three-year contract. Every day they tried their best to keep me and I feel very honored that they put a lot of effort into it. As a result, I have repeatedly turned down offers from other countries and clubs. But recently, I received an offer from a team that was irresistibly tempting.
In 2021, Anderson became the head coach of Hong Kong, China, leading the team to reach the final stage of the Asian Cup again after 56 years, and he also led the team to the quarterfinals of last year's Asian Games in Hangzhou, creating Hong Kong, China men's football team's best record in the Asian Games.
