Despite Gao Hongbo's ambition to coach, a People's Daily report reveals that the crux of the recent downturn in China's women's soccer team stems from a lagging system. Against this backdrop, the CFA tends to look for foreign coaches to join the team, which is why they have not selected a women's head coach within the country, but are looking at the world. Obviously, the Chinese women's soccer team is more attractive to foreign coaches, and Gao Hongbo therefore faces the risk of losing this opportunity. However, compared to losing the position of women's soccer head coach, Gao Hongbo's loss of the women's soccer coaching staff does not seem to be a foregone conclusion. As we all know, following the CFA's usual practice, after hiring a foreign coach, the federation will usually set up a team of Chinese coaches to work together. The Chinese men's soccer team, for example, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Chen Tao, etc. are the core members of this team. Even if Gao Hongbo misses out on the women's soccer head coaching position, as long as we actively strive for it, the opportunity for a Chinese coaching team still exists.
