Recently, "water Qingxia replaced, as the head coach of the women's national team" news around, but whether she can officially serve as the women's national team in the future, is still unknown. However, according to our reporter to grasp the situation, the so-called "replacement" and water Qingxia will be the new women's national football team head coach of the statement, it seems too hasty, this out of context approach can only show that the people who make judgments about this do not understand the national team selection process.
Recall that before the start of the Olympic Games, the State General Administration of Sport has carried out overall planning and co-ordination of the Games events after the Olympic Games. In view of the fact that many Olympic athletes are still required to represent local teams, and considering the long-term group training and bonding of the participating players, if they are allowed to regroup after the Olympic Games, they may not have enough time to bond with their teammates in the local teams, and may not be able to perform at their best level. What's more, it may lead to the players who have contributed more to the Olympics, but instead, they will be negatively affected by the poor results of the Games, even affecting the total number of gold medals.
As a result, the General Administration finally decided that team sports, especially those with more than 2 participants, will participate in the National Games after the Olympic Games as Olympic Mixed All-Tournament Teams, and the number of gold medals will be distributed among the groups of provinces contributing players. This decision is not only for soccer, but also for basketball, field hockey and many other team sports. Only the women's volleyball team rejected the program. Therefore, the Olympic Mixed All-Tournament Team is not a whim of the Football Association, but a higher-level decision.
So who will lead this mixed team? Since the National Games is not a tournament organized by the Football Association, but is jointly organized by the local sports bureaus and the Football Association, it was decided according to the meeting that the coaching staffs of the top three provinces of the last women's football team would be in charge. The top three of the last National Games were Shanghai, Jiangsu and Tianjin. Now that the Tianjin women's soccer team has been disbanded, the head coach is Shui Qingxia from Shanghai, and the assistant coach and goalkeeper coach are sent by the Jiangsu women's soccer team to form the coaching team together. Coach Shui Qingxia's official title is: head of the coaching team of the mixed Olympic women's soccer team for the National Games. She is only responsible for the coaching of this team at the National Games, and has no direct relationship with the Chinese women's national team.
According to the reporter learned from the Football Association, Jia Xiuquan coach in the end of the isolation, first of all, to the Football Association to submit a detailed report on the duties of the whole process of preparation for the Olympic Games and the game to explain the specific situation. After the report is submitted, it will be reviewed by the competent leaders and communicated with Coach Jia Xiuquan. As Coach Jia Xiuquan's contract has not yet expired, the new manager will not be able to be produced before both parties formally terminate the contract.
Between Coach Jia Xiuquan and the FA, there is also the possibility of contract renewal, non-renewal, or Coach Jia Xiuquan actively rejecting the request for contract renewal. Only after Coach Jia Xiuquan ends his contract and is no longer the head coach of the national team will the FA start a new selection process.
Football Association selection process is roughly as follows: first of all, we must convene a meeting to determine the basic conditions of the new manager, such as whether to choose the national manager or a foreign manager; after determining, and then open the conditions of the selection of the manager or the competition, after the competition, assessment, communication, in order to determine the final candidate for the new manager. Determined, but also to the higher authorities to submit a written report on the entire selection process as well as the final confirmation of the conditions of the candidate and all aspects of the details. Do not rule out the water Qingxia coach this time to lead the team with outstanding results, and she herself has the will to coach the women's soccer team, so as to become the strongest competitor.
