Undoubtedly the best candidate.
Last season, as the executive manager and player of the Guangzhou team, Zheng Zhi led the team to complete the last eight rounds of matches with a record of four wins, two draws and two losses, finishing third in the league. At the end of the season, he was selected to join the coaching staff of the national football team to play with the team in the remaining matches of the World Preliminary Round 12. On April 24, the national football team ended its isolation in Haikou, and Zheng Zhi also returned to Guangzhou.
During his time in Guangzhou, Zheng Zhi had returned to the Guangzhou team's training base. The base retained his former belongings, and even his single room was not occupied, so it was clear that the team wanted him to continue to play. Although the two sides had a senior interview, but in view of the Guangzhou team's situation at that time, Zheng Zhi ultimately did not choose to stay in the team to continue coaching.
