Out of office! Enrique, Martinez leave in droves
The first high point of the coaching change was the departure of Enrique. Of all the departing coaches, Spanish coach Enrique is undoubtedly one of the most famous. Beijing time on December 8, the Spanish Football Association announced that the national team coach Enrique officially left. From then on, Spain has lasted three years and eight months "Enrique era" announced the end. As a famous Spanish coach, Enrique in coaching the national team before the Barcelona proved himself, won the La Liga title, the Champions League title, the European Super Cup champion and many other coaches can not win a lifetime of trophies. In this case, he was considered to be the revitalization of the Spanish team to find the "real man", but the Qatar World Cup fiasco proved that the last three years of the fiasco "feelings" after all, but the wrong payment.

In terms of tactical attainments, Enrique is a follower of passing and control soccer, and he has helped the Spanish team to some extent to make certain tactical innovations while sticking to tradition. However, the position of national team coach is different from that of a club. The tournament system of international matches is also very different from the league. With Spain's talent replacement not yet fully completed, Enrique did not bring a stronger mental impetus to the team. As a result, Spain's performance was weak in many key matches. This year's World Cup, Spain lost to Japan in the group stage, 1/8 final loss to Morocco, often become the object of cold, which is consistent with Enrique's insistence on "ineffective" pass control has nothing to do with the opponent's goal of the fatal blow. Immediately after his departure, the Spanish Football Federation announced candidates for a new coach. --U national team head coach Luis de la Fuente.

Retention! Controversy as German FA backs Flick
Germany were the worst giants at the World Cup, exiting the group stage with one win, one draw and one loss, preventing them from breaking through to the group stage twice in a row. After the tournament, many German fans expressed their displeasure with head coach Flicke, with many media outlets speculating that Flicke would soon be fired. However, after a "crisis summit" between DFB President Neuendorf and Vice-President Watzke in cooperation with Flick, the DFB officially announced the latter's retention.

Neuendorf's response was, "We agree that Euro 2024 in Germany will boost German soccer, we aim to succeed in this competition and we have full confidence in Flick and his team." Flick said the coaching staff is optimistic about Euro 2024 and that the team can achieve better results than Qatar, which Germany missed out on but will learn from. Both the DFB and Flick seem to agree that the World Cup loss was a fluke, and they are confidently prepared to find dignity in their next match.
In contrast to Flick, Japan's coach Morihiro has been questioned in recent years, but his World Cup performances have won the approval of players and fans alike. The "Group of Death" Japan won back-to-back World Cups against Germany and Spain in the group stage and advanced to the top of the group. Although they lost to Croatia on penalties in the 1/8 finals and failed to reach the last eight, creating history for Japanese soccer, their performance in this tournament was still remarkable. Upon their return home, the Japanese team received more than 650 fans and 190 journalists at the airport. When asked if he planned to stay on with the national team, Morihoichi said, "Yes, I want to keep doing it!"
Coming to China? A lot of coaches have scandals with China?
On December 9, the official website of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) said that from December 6 to 8, a meeting on the preparation of winter training for national teams at all levels was held in Haikou. In fact, the media has long had rumors about this meeting, in which the fans are most concerned about two major events, one is the Chinese men's soccer team discussed at the meeting, and the other is that all national teams will hold military training during the training period.
Many of the managers who have stepped down at the World Cup have been involved with China. -Bento is one of them. After leaving South Korea, Bento said he will go back to Portugal to have a good rest and then consider arranging the following jobs. Bento has coached in Chongqing in the Chinese Super League and has a certain understanding of Chinese soccer, but during his time in Chongqing, Paulo Bento's stubborn character has also attracted a lot of criticism, and at a time when the national football team is in such turmoil, there is a big question mark over whether or not Bento is suitable for China's men's football team's marquee candidate.
In addition, Martinez, who has just stepped down from Belgium, will be a candidate for the new coach of Shanghai Port, according to Shanghai media reports. After three consecutive losses in the Chinese Super League, Hong Kong coach Leko was fired and Hong Kong appointed Xi Zhikang as interim coach. For Hong Kong to compete for the top three, it must be equipped with a stronger coach to work wonders. In the long run, Hong Kong must also have a stronger coach if it wants to remain among the strongest teams in the Chinese Super League, but so far there has been no clear response from the relevant parties to the news.
