Guangzhou City Soccer Salon Share Reform Dynamics
On March 24th in Beijing, a heavy news about the equity reform of Guangzhou City Football Salon was announced by media person Li Xuan. Li Xuan disclosed on social media platforms that Guangzhou City has sought a veteran soccer administrator and former international footballer, Li Wei Feng, to join the operating team of the new salon. Li Wei Feng, a former head coach of Tianjin Tianhai, has now arrived at the team.
GAC Group has previously dispatched a shareholding reform team led by Deputy General Manager Chen Hanjun to Guangzhou City Football Salon. As for the shareholding structure, Fortune Group will probably no longer hold shares in Guangzhou City Football Salon. However, it seems that the operation team will retain its position. Currently, Guangzhou City has already started its preparation for the new season, and the overall staff remains stable despite changes in the coaching team members.
As for the key issue of Super League access - salary arrears - there is a preliminary solution. Guangzhou City Football Salon's salary arrears will be divided into two parts, with New Year's Day as the boundary, last year's staff salary arrears will be borne by Fortune Group, while salary arrears after January 1, 2022 will be borne by the new shareholders. After the completion of the shareholding reform, Guangzhou Auto Group will inject funds into the new Guangzhou City team.
Li Wei Feng has served as the deputy general manager and team leader of Tianjin Quanjian Football Salon, and later transferred to the head of Tianhai's coaching team, possessing rich experience in club operation and team management. Together with the seniority and prestige of his former national soccer team captain, Li Wei Feng is undoubtedly an ideal leader for GAC Group, which has just ventured into the soccer field.
