With the national soccer team's regrettable farewell in the 12 strong match, the national team's journey once fell into silence. The Asian teams have been gearing up for the new round of World Cup qualifiers in Asia, while the coach of the Chinese men's soccer team remains a mystery. At this time, led the Wuhan three towns bravely won the Chinese Super League crown Pedro, publicly expressed interest in taking over the national team coaching whip.
"The coaching position for the Chinese team is vacant and they understand that this is no small matter. If I receive an attractive offer and a well thought out plan, I am willing to consider it, but I have to make sure that all the parties involved are in agreement." Pedro revealed in an interview with Spanish media.
When it comes to coaching experience, Pedro is undoubtedly the ideal candidate for the new national team manager. He led San Zhen to a dominant season, winning the league in his debut season. However, the power of foreign aid in the Tri-Town victory should not be underestimated, and it would be difficult to see the results if this model is copied and adapted to the national soccer team. Furthermore, the CFA is not strong enough to offer high salaries to attract top coaches in terms of funding.
Although the coach selection work of the CFA is progressing steadily, after the Qatar World Cup ended, the name of former Iranian coach and Portuguese Queiroz joined the waiting list. However, under the shadow of the golden dollar soccer, Chinese soccer's perception of foreign coaches has been deeply rooted in the offer starting point will not be expensive, resulting in many candidate coaches before the negotiations in-depth has been out of the game.
As this year's Chinese soccer tournaments come to an end, the national football team's winter preparation schedule has also been scheduled. After the Spring Festival, the national team will start winter training for the coming year's World Cup Asian qualifiers and the end of the Asian Cup to build up strength. In this context, the new coach can be in place in time, is undoubtedly a major suspense. Perhaps the interim coach Li Xiaopeng will be appointed.
