On August 12, the night was low, Beijing Guoan suffered a heartbreaking 1-5 loss against newly promoted Wuhan Sanzhen in the 12th round of the 2022 Chinese Super League season. The news was like a heavy bomb that quickly caused ripples inside and outside the soccer circle. Subsequently, team leader Xie Feng, the coach who had led the team to brilliant results, resigned with determination.
As the night deepened, the official Beijing Guoan Football Salon responded quickly, not only supporting Xie Feng's resignation request in the announcement, but also urgently setting up an interim coaching team. Wei Kexing, a veteran soccer player, was appointed as the head of the interim coaching team, while Sui Dongliang, the head coach of the reserve team, was appointed as the new head coach of the team. Not only that, Luke, the reserve team's coach, will also be promoted to the first team.
In the announcement, Beijing Guoan Football Salon wrote: "In view of the resignation of Coach Xie Feng due to personal reasons, after careful consideration, the first team coaching team of Beijing Guoan Football Salon will be temporarily adjusted. Wei Kexing will be the interim coaching team leader, Sui Dongliang will be the interim head coach. Reserve team coach Luke will also move up to the first team. Meanwhile, assistant coaches Tao Wei and Zhai Biao, goalkeeper coach and Zheng Yuan, and physical fitness coach Heichmann will remain in their positions."
Time is running out for Beijing Guoan to prepare for the next round of the league. Next Wednesday, they will be on the road again to challenge Wuhan Changjiang. In this tight schedule, the team's adjustment and response will be the focus of attention.
