As the years go by, 2023 has silently spanned nearly a season and there is only a two-month window left for the Chinese men's soccer team's two upcoming warm-up matches with the New Zealand national team.
However, the choice of the new head coach of the national soccer team is still pending. Affected by a variety of factors, the CFA is in a state of internal turmoil, the Minister of Management was accidentally taken away to investigate, and at this time, who dares to take over this hot potato?
The current situation seems to make it difficult to welcome new faces to the position of head coach of the national football team. Currently, only two coaches are qualified to lead the team to New Zealand.
One of them is Li Xiaopeng, who temporarily acted as Li Tie's coach last year. However, his poor performance in the world preliminaries and the loss in coaching the Chinese women's soccer team have revealed that Li Xiaopeng's ability is not enough to take on the responsibility of the head coach of the national team.
Therefore, as the national soccer team's world preliminaries journey came to an end, Li Xiaopeng also submitted his resignation to the Football Association. Despite the special circumstances of last year, the Association did not immediately accept his request, which also makes Li Xiaopeng has not been able to return to Wuhan team, has been in a state of idleness.
The other is Serbian coach Jankovic. Last year, he led the national team to participate in the East Asian Cup, and although the team did not make a significant breakthrough in the East Asian Cup, the players' young and energetic performance won wide recognition.
Yankovic also once became the favorite candidate for the new coach of the national football team. However, as a coach with high emotional intelligence, he is well aware of the current plight of the national football team, and after the end of the East Asian Cup, he said he had no intention of taking over the national football team.
Recently, however, according to a report by a well-known paper in Beijing, Yankovic's attitude seems to have softened. He said that he is willing to accept any arrangement from the FA. This implies that he will not refuse if the FA invites him to be the coach of the national soccer team.
As we all know, Jankovic is currently serving as China's coach for the Asian Games. If he takes charge of the national team coaching whip again, the workload will increase significantly, which will undoubtedly distract him from the Asian Games and thus affect the overall performance of the national team.
Therefore, the Football Association may be considering the third option - by Jankovic and Li Xiaopeng co-coaching whip of the national football. In fact, the double coaching system in the history of the national football is not the first time, in 2007, Frado and Dujkovic had joined hands to coach the national football, but then the results are not ideal.
Overall, there may not be too many new changes in the program of selecting coaches for national soccer. Li Xiaopeng and Jankovic have become the only candidates for the national soccer coach. From the recent domestic soccer situation and the coaching ability of the two coaches, Yankovic seems to be more suitable for the position of national soccer coach. As for which coach the FA will finally choose, let's look forward to it together ......
