Autumn breeze, the soccer world set off waves again! As the national football team prepares for the war, the rival team's managerial change comes unexpectedly. Officials announced in a high profile that former soccer star Tony Popovich will be at the helm of the Australian national team.
Australia slumped in September's World Qualifiers, losing 0-1 to Bahrain and then shaking hands with Indonesia. This was the end of a long run, and the Arnold boss, who had been in charge for six years, left on September 20 in disgrace.
Popovic's appointment is seen as a heavyweight and he is expected to be officially inaugurated tomorrow. At the moment, he is deep in conversation with members of the team about the new blueprint for the national team.
51-year-old Popovic, the son of Sydney, was once a center back on the pitch, and his courageous figure in the 2006 World Cup is still fresh in his mind. After retiring from the game, he transitioned into coaching and coached teams such as Western Sydney Wanderers, Perth Glory and Melbourne Victory, and in 2014, he led Western Sydney Wanderers to win the AFC Champions League title, becoming the pride of Australian soccer.
On October 10, Popovich will usher in a new chapter in his coaching career, when he will lead the team to face the Chinese men's football team at home, the summit of the showdown will undoubtedly become a major focus of the new season.
