Just because Gao Hongbo missed out on the men's soccer coaching job doesn't mean he won't be able to take the helm of the national team again in the future. Why? It turns out that the Football Association in the selection of coaches, the foreign identity of the love, especially favored the European coach. Gao Hongbo therefore hit a wall. According to the established framework of the Football Association, only two remaining eligible, one of which is Queiroz, however, Queiroz has agreed to Africa's powerful brigade of 3 million euros, which makes Ivankovic become the leading candidate for the men's football team. According to reporter Qin Yun and other disclosure, Ivankovic will become the new head coach almost nailed on, after all, his 1.5 million euros annual salary is exactly what the FA expects.
While Ivanovic's appointment seems to have been well received, former soccer superstar Fan Zhiyi is skeptical that a foreign coach can save Chinese soccer. In a recent program, Fan referred to the sudden departure of Lippi and summed up his views with the words "Chinese football still needs local". He believes that only if local coaches continue to improve, the Chinese men's soccer team will be able to get out of the dilemma and move towards glory. Fan Zhiyi's comments hit the nail on the head, but also let us have high hopes for China's local coaches, looking forward to them to be able to take charge of their own, self-sufficient, for the national team to send more outstanding talents.
