On July 10, Jinan Xingzhou officially announced that Wei Xin replaced Tang Jing as the team's head coach. Compared with Wuxi Wu Hook, Jinan Xingzhou is a team busy with relegation, but has the strength to go beyond. Especially after bringing in strong internal and external reinforcements such as Park Jiajun, Qi Tianyu, and Karanga in the summer window, the strength of the paper was further enhanced. However, Jinan Xingzhou stumbled and had a poor record. During Wei Xin's tenure, only 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses were recorded, gradually slipping down the middle of the table.
Jinan Xingzhou are undefeated for four consecutive rounds after a 2-2 draw away to Jiangxi Lushan. After the first game, they accumulated 31 points and ranked seventh, 11 points behind the super zone. With only 9 rounds left in the league, the hope of overtaking is very slim. Against this background, Wei Xin was dismissed again.
Wei Xin, 46, is a representative of Chongqing soccer, playing mainly for Chongqing in his playing days. After his retirement, he has coached Chongqing Lifan, Nantong Zhiyun, Wuxi Wuhu and Jinan Xingzhou.
With Wei Xin's dismissal, at least nine teams have changed 12 head coaches this season, namely: Nanjing Oscar, Jiangxi Lushan Liu Pingyu, Bené Lima, Guangzhou Liu Zhiyu, Wuxi Wu Hook Yang Lin, Wei Xin, Shanghai Jiading Huilong Li Yi Nan, Qingdao West Coast Zhou Xin, Shijiazhuang Kungfu Zhang Hui, Jinan Xingzhou Tang Jing, Wei Xin, Suzhou Dongwu Lu Bofei.
Among those coaches, Jiangxi Lushan, Wuxi Wu Hook and Jinan Xingzhou all made two coaching changes. Wei Xin was the only coach to step down from both teams.
