On the night of the 8th, the capital soccer powerhouse Beijing Guoan club sudden statement, announced with the head coach Bilic and his team to reach an early termination of the contract, the Croatian coach will no longer be in charge of the team coaching whip. Bilic in the early morning of the 8th completed the early termination of contract procedures with Guoan. According to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter revealed that the main reason for the termination of the contract is Bilic's family's serious condition, which makes him unable to take care of his career and family responsibilities at the same time in our country.
From coaching Guoan in early 2021 to his departure in early 2022, Bilic led the team through a season of fierce battles in the domestic league and cup competitions, with nine wins, six draws and seven defeats in a total of 22 league matches, ultimately finishing fifth in the league. The list of successors is not yet finalized.
Despite the contract with Guoan, but from last November, about Bilic will be early termination of the contract and go to the European club coaching news has been endless. The Turkish media even pointed out directly that Bilic would replace the departed Pereira as the new manager of Fenerbahce. However, in the second phase of the Super League, Bilic completed all eight games with the team and said he would fulfill his contract with Guoan. Despite finishing in fifth place, it was not an easy achievement with Guoan's current squad.
It is reported that after returning to Beijing with the team on the 5th, Bilic's team started to discuss the early termination of his contract with Guoan Club. Bilic's family is seriously ill, so he has no time to take care of his family and work, so he chose to terminate his contract early. Bilic's team members will also leave China with him, ending this one-year coaching career.
Looking back on Bilic's coaching of Guoan, the team's performance can be described as ups and downs, both the brilliant moments of victory over Shanghai Shenhua and Guangzhou team, but also six consecutive rounds of winless predicament. As a result, fans and media have mixed feelings about Bilic's performance. However, the Croatian was also helpless, because compared to his predecessor Genesio, Bilic had limited players at hand, and even had only Bakambu as a foreigner available for a long period of time. To the second stage, only to rely on Anderson Silva and other foreign strikers, Bilic can achieve such results, can also be said to have done his best.
With the departure of Bilic, the position of the national coach is temporarily vacant. Who will be the next head coach? There is no conclusion yet, even whether to use local coaches or foreign coaches have not yet been determined. According to the past selection criteria of Guoan club, it should choose a capable and famous coach, but considering the general environment and salary limitations of Chinese soccer, the possibility of finding this level of coach is not large. Ultimately, who can take over Bilic's coaching whip, will become the focus of the recent Guoan topic.
