In a soccer feast of national honor is about to be staged, senior sports commentator Liu Jianhong on the national football coaching candidates expressed insights. He pointed out: "Seeing that coach Ivan is once again in charge of the national football team, the situation seems to be quite tricky. Either let him continue, or we have to change the coach decisively. We might as well announce Ivan's dismissal immediately and see if the CFA can quickly form a coaching team. We have three strong coaches to choose from, they are the head coaches of Shanghai Harbor, Shanghai Shenhua and Shandong Taishan, who are not only familiar with club affairs, but also capable of handling the national team." ! [Coach Ivan](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202409/2024090903125795424492548.jpg) Shanghai Harbour's head coach Muscat, an Australian-born coach, has won unanimous praise in the industry for his exceptional coaching talent. Under his leadership, many players, including Wu Lei, have been revitalized, and Shanghai Seaport is currently at the top of the Chinese Super League. ! [Coach Muscat](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202409/2024090903125834485672548.png) Coach Slutsky of Shanghai Shenhua, the Russian was met with a lot of skepticism at the beginning of his tenure, but his consistent performances have kept the team in second place in the CSL. Shandong Taishan's head coach Choi Kang-hee, the South Korean coach, although controversial, led Taishan to the top eight of the Asian Champions League at the beginning of the season, and although the team has suffered back-to-back defeats in the recent past, Taishan has managed to get out of the doldrums, winning the FA Cup, the Asian Champions League, and the league title. If these three coaches were to take charge of the national soccer team, they would undoubtedly know the strengths of the players in the Chinese league like the back of their hands. However, we also need to note that coaching positions in the national team do not seem to allow for part-time work. In basketball, for example, Du Feng was the coach of both the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team, but in the end, he could only choose one or the other. This summer, Guo Shiqiang took over as coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, while resigning from his position in the Guangzhou men's basketball team. If the FA is interested in inviting Cui Kangxi, Muscat and Slutsky to coach the national team, the three coaches will have to resign from their clubs first.
