Frankly speaking, although I am almost 60 years old, I am still full of enthusiasm and vitality as a coach, and I hope to have the opportunity to return to the coaching bench again and impart my experience. Unfortunately, the current FA has chosen foreign coach Ivan Kovic as the new coach, and Gao Hongbo's wish cannot be realized for the time being. Gao Hongbo has played multiple roles in the course of Chinese soccer, his experience is rich and complex, from player to coach to the management of the FA. He bravely assumed responsibility for the national soccer team at a difficult time, but ultimately stepped down due to tactical and management issues.
Nonetheless, Gao Hongbo's easy-going and hard-working image has won the respect and love of countless fans. Today, Gao Hongbo stands at a new starting point. Although his identity has changed to Director of Youth Training, his love for soccer and desire for coaching career is still on fire. In the ever-changing environment of the Chinese soccer world, we expect Gao Hongbo to shine in his new position and hope that he will have the opportunity to realize his dream of coaching again in the future.
Gao Hongbo's change of identity is not only a new challenge for his personal career, but also an important addition to the youth training system of Beijing soccer. The experienced Gao Hongbo brings his knowledge and philosophy in soccer to his position as technical director of the BFA, hoping to have a positive impact on the training of Beijing's soccer youth. By deepening the technical guidance and optimizing the youth training system, Gao hopes to cultivate more outstanding soccer talents for the future of Beijing and even Chinese soccer. Gao Hongbo's enthusiasm and experience are undoubtedly extremely valuable at this critical moment of transformation for Chinese soccer.
