As we all know, after the fierce battle of the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's soccer team was disbanded after returning to glory. The dissolution of the storm has not yet subsided, the team has ushered in an urgent task - to start the change of managerial procedures. Although some members of the media pointed out that the Football Association still need to carry out some assessment before officially open the road to change the coach, but the change of coach has been finalized.
Regarding the candidate for the new head coach of the national football team, the media and fans generally believe that the direct selection from the Chinese Super League head coach is undoubtedly the most prudent strategy. However, with the upcoming start of the Chinese Super League, it would be difficult to poach a head coach from a club at this time. The Chinese Super League team may refuse to release the manager out of concern for the stability of the team, which may lead to dissatisfaction within the team.
Several foreign coaches who have coached in the Chinese Super League may be considered by the FA in selecting a new manager. In particular, Olaoluoyu, whose coaching experience at Jiangsu Suning is highly regarded, has been selected by several media outlets as one of the popular head coaches for the national soccer team. Meanwhile, Shandong Taishan's head coach Cui Kangxi and Chengdu Rongcheng's head coach Xu Zhengyuan are also seen as two of the favorites to vie for the national team's head coaching position.
However, I personally believe that the possibility of CFA introducing these two Korean coaches is not high. On one hand, it is doubtful whether the clubs are willing to release them, and on the other hand, it is unknown whether these two coaches are willing to accept the invitation of the national team. Nonetheless, apart from the two coaches mentioned above, Mr. Xie Hui may be the most suitable candidate to coach the Chinese men's soccer team.
Despite the Dalian Ren's unsatisfactory performance last season, which ultimately led to relegation and disbandment, Xie Hui's guidance has shown excellent game command despite the team's weakness, a quality that is desperately needed in the current Chinese men's soccer team.
Especially in controlling the tempo of the game, Xie Hui's tactical guidance demonstrated the mental qualities needed by the Chinese men's soccer team. If the national team can show the determination to control the tempo of the game, no matter win or lose, the fans will be pleased. Therefore, we should give more consideration to coaches like Xie Hui instead of blindly pursuing fame. Xie Hui can at least put his heart and soul into improving the mental quality of the players, so that those who are willing to play for their country will get the attention they deserve.
