In fact, Huang Bowen was able to realize a "seamless transition" from professional players to trainers of the national youth team, thanks to the "welfare mechanism" created by the CFA - the CFA has built a practice platform for outstanding retired players to join the national team at all levels, and encouraged them to attend different levels of coaching courses in due course. Excellent retired players to build a practice platform, specially arranged for them to join the national team at all levels, and encourage them to participate in different levels of training courses for coaches in due course. On the occasion of Huang Bowen joining the team, former international player Yang Zhi, former Jiangsu team captain Lu Bofei, Liu Cheng, Sun Ji and Zhang Xinxin, who had been selected for the national team, also participated in the guidance of the U19 national youth team as trainers. Meanwhile, former international footballer Shao Jiayi, as a member of the executive committee of the Football Association, also serves as the team leader and assistant coach, while former international footballer Du Zhenyu serves as assistant coach. Huang Bowen, Zhang Xinxin and others are called "trainers" because they must have A-level or above coaching qualifications certified by the CFA according to regulations, in order to be able to take charge of national or Chinese Super League teams as assistant coaches or head coaches.
Observing the recent formation of various national teams, it can be found that a number of retired professional players, including former international players, have been absorbed. For example, Xue Shen, who assisted Li Tie as the national men's soccer team's physical fitness coach in the World Cup Asian Zone Top 40 and the first six rounds of the Top 12, is serving as a scientific researcher for the U19 national youth team this term.

Currently, the 1999-age U23 National Olympic Team and the 2003-age U19 National Youth Team are coached by two foreign coaches, Yankovic and Antonio, respectively. The national men's soccer team, the 2001-age national youth team (the new national Olympic team), and the 2006-age U17 national junior team are respectively coached by local coaches Li Xiaopeng, Cheng Yaodong, and Yang Chen. They, like Li Tie, who had left the national soccer team, are representatives of outstanding professional players and international players of different eras. They were able to take office both because of their personal strength and because of the training of the CFA. In fact, some of the current head coaches and assistant coaches of domestic leagues have also been trained in the coaching positions of national teams. For example, Li Jinyu, the current manager of the Chinese Super League's Wuhan team, made his debut with the national team as a "trainer" when he assisted Li Xiaopeng in coaching the national women's soccer team. Now that he has been certified to coach at the professional level, he is naturally qualified to be the head coach of national and Chinese Super League teams.
It is worth paying attention to, due to the preparation task, cycle length, foreign coaches and other factors, different national teams coaching team absorbed former international players or excellent retired professional players vary in number. For example, the national men's soccer team recruited Gao Yao, Zhao Junzhe, Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, District Chuliang, Li Lei Lei 6 former international footballers; U17 national junior team of well-known former professional players for the assistant coach Ma Tsuen, goalkeeper coach Yang Jun, trainer Hu Zhaogun; U23 national Olympic team coached by the well-known former professional players only assistant coach Xu Jining, trainer Wan Houliang two people; the new national Olympic team coached by the well-known former professional players only the former international footballer Wang Yun a person.

CFA arrangements for outstanding former international players, former professional players to join the national coaching team at all levels, on the one hand, in order to allow them to teach the valuable experience accumulated during the player era to young players, on the other hand, but also in order to allow them to coaching positions in the rapid growth of not only learning theoretical knowledge, but also to enrich the practical experience for the future to become a protagonist of the future of the domestic football coaching ready. In the view of industry insiders, the CFA in the optimization of human resources need to start from the player selection, faculty strength and other aspects. The pursuit of this talent development model is also a multi-win situation.
