It is reported that the famous soccer star Zheng Zhi is about to step into the coaching ranks of his work club for the time being. Before that, he has successfully completed and passed the Level B coach training organized by the CFA. According to CFA regulations, in order to coach a national team or a Chinese Super League team, one must have a "working level coaching qualification" that is recognized by both AFC and CFA. Zheng Zhi also plans to continue his education step by step.
On April 25th, CFA released the "2022 First AFC/CFA Level B Coach Training Course Selection Announcement". Unlike the B-level coach training, which is organized independently by the CFA, the A-level and working-level coach training courses need to be reported to the AFC, so the specific start date of the next A-level coach training course has not yet been determined. According to insiders, Zheng Zhi is expected to participate in the A-level coach training. As a former player, Zheng Zhi is not in a hurry to take over the head coaching position of a working club, but chooses to study and gain experience first.
Up to now, about Li Xiaopeng team in the future whether to continue to coach the national team, the official has not yet given a clear response. However, Zheng Zhi joined the new national team coaching team, but also by the former national team teammates, friends Li Xiaopeng's sincere invitation. Therefore, as long as Li Xiaopeng decided to continue coaching, Zheng Zhi will most likely continue to serve as his assistant. For the 2023 Asian Cup, this coaching duo will be an excellent stage to show their talents and accumulate coaching experience.
