The latest revelation from tonight's reporter Shen Wei is that the public is beginning to question Javier's coaching talent, which may signal a possible change in the Shanghai Seaports head coaching position. If the Harbors open the door to a change of manager, Xie Hui will undoubtedly become one of the hottest candidates.
Although Javier led his team to win the 2023 Chinese Super League title at Shanghai Harbour, his coaching prowess has yet to be fully recognized. Their loss in the AFC Champions League play-offs laid bare this doubt. Currently, whether Javier will leave the club and whether it will be a foreign or local coach, Xie Hui, who will take over has become a hot topic of discussion among Shanghai fans.
Javier's coaching seat is in jeopardy despite Harbour winning the Chinese Super League. There have been calls for him to step down since their surprise defeat to Thailand's Pathum United in the AFC Champions League play-offs. In the closing stages of the Super League, Harbour's original dominance has dwindled, which is a reflection of Javier's coaching problems.
After the Chinese Super League season comes to an end, the Shanghai soccer world may be in for a change of manager. However, after Wu Jingui led Shanghai Shenhua to the AFC Cup title, the pressure on Javier at Harbour is getting heavier. If Harbour are determined to make a change, Xie Hui, a former coach of Dalian People, with his in-depth knowledge of his old boss, seems to be an ideal candidate without the need to worry about adaptation problems.
