On May 24th, Shenzhen Football Club assembled at their base to prepare for the second phase of the Chinese Super League. However, the team's head coach, Jordi Cruyff, was absent from the assembly, and he hurriedly flew to Spain just after the break to negotiate with Barcelona about joining the club. At the moment, it seems that Cruyff may say goodbye to SZF, and he will be replaced by Carlos Granero, who will be in full charge of the team's training and matches. In other words, Carlos may not just be the acting head coach of SZF.
Spanish media reported last week that Cruyff Jr. had arrived in Barcelona and met with President Laporta.

The "sports director", Cruyff does not even need to pay any compensation to SZF.
Before departing for Spain, Cruyff Jr. was ready to leave the team. To this end, he did not hesitate to personally funded, invited Carlos to become his successor. In the deep football and Shandong team in the 5th round of the game, Carlos appeared in the coaching seat, at that time he was a member of the small Cruyff coaching team.
Talking about the arrival of Carlos, Cruyff Jr. said that Carlos was able to support him in several ways. With the restart of the preparation, Cruyff failed to return to the team, Carlos naturally and logically become the team's acting head coach. In other words, before Cruyff Jr. returns to Shenzhen, SZFC's training and games will be led by Carlos, while Cruyff Jr.'s coaching team will directly assist Carlos.
