Beijing Youth Daily disclosed that Serbian coach Jankovic is expected to become the new coach of the national soccer team.
On February 13th, the Chinese Men's Football Team for the Asian Games will play a crucial domestic warm-up match against Dandong Tengyue in Foshan, and then depart for the United Arab Emirates on the 14th for further training. The top management of the CFA will also be present to watch the match. Immediately after the tournament, an emergency meeting will be held to select a new foreign coach for the national team.
According to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, affected by a variety of factors, including the former coach Queiroz, including many more than the special selection of coaching candidates can not be in place as scheduled, therefore, now coaching the men's Asian football team of Yankovic has jumped up to the new coach of the national football team's strong contenders. The FA took the opportunity of the Foshan meeting to brainstorm on the candidate coaches to carry out a comprehensive assessment, and will officially announce the results of the selection after the procedure is completed.
On February 13th, the Chinese Men's Asian Football Team had their last training session in Foshan. At the moment, members of the FA's coaching committee, including Xu Genbao, Shen Xiangfu and Wei Kexing, gathered to participate in a special meeting to select a new coach. The Foshan meeting comes against the backdrop of the FA's failure to organize a systematic training session for nearly a year since the end of the Qatar World Qualifying Tour at the end of March last year.
In view of the urgency of the national soccer team's preparations for the World Qualifiers and the Asian Cup, the Football Association has readjusted the conditions for coaching candidates. Among the many candidates, Jankovic has become the center of attention with his outstanding performance in the Asian Games team. Although last year the FA was worried that Jankovic would have trouble juggling his dual tasks, his coaching ability has been officially recognized. If he ends up in charge of the national soccer team, it may be a result acceptable to all parties.
It is reported that in addition to Jankovic, other foreign coaches also appeared in the candidate list, which is the main reason why the FA held a meeting of the coaching expert committee in Foshan. The FA is expected to form a preliminary opinion on the new coach candidates after the meeting, and then enter the formal procedure. With the selection of national football coaches entering a substantial stage, the team's new cycle of preparation plans and warm-up games will also come out one after another.
