In fact, the CFA has long given a clear answer to the question of whether the Chinese national soccer team maintains a Chinese coaching team. In the press release announcing that Ivankovic has officially taken over as head coach, the end paragraph clearly indicates that the national team is still retaining its domestic coaching team, while the question of whether it will continue to do so in the future will be based on the results of Ivankovic's consultations.
In light of this, Zheng Zhi accompanied Ivankovic on his field trip to screen international players, a move that officially highlights the FA's position. Given that the new coach just arrived in the country, the selection of national team players is still dominated by the domestic coaching team, and the final decision may be in the hands of Ivankovic. But as a foreign coach who has been coaching in Asian soccer for a long time, Ivankovic may bring surprises.
How will the Chinese coaching staff select the players? All eyes are on whether Fernando will be included in the national team list, but it is yet to be revealed. When the national team list is announced, all the answers will be revealed. Of course, Fernando is an indispensable starter if we look at the player's strength and form.
