As of this moment, the dust has settled on the coach of our U19 men's soccer team. Just a short while ago, at high noon, the FA broke the mold and announced a surprising new head coach - 61-year-old Djurdjevic. The coach had been at the helm of the Asian Games team, and despite mediocre results, the FA decided to give him a four-year contract, a move that was unexpected by many fans. This undoubtedly once again highlights the patience and long-term perspective the federation holds on the growth of young players, and they hope that Djurdjevic can fully commit to the youth training of the national soccer team in the next four years, laying a solid foundation for the team's long-term youth development.
In recent years, China's soccer sector has been exploring strategies to enhance international competitiveness. The introduction of high-level foreign coaches can not only introduce novel tactical concepts and training methods, but also improve the technical level of China's soccer. At the same time, the exchange and cooperation between foreign coaches and local coaches has contributed to the improvement of the overall level of China's soccer.
The choice of foreign coaches as head coaches of the national team is mainly to meet the expectations of fans and the public. As a sports powerhouse, China's soccer has not been able to meet expectations in international matches, which makes fans and the public feel disappointed and dissatisfied. The addition of foreign coaches is expected to inspire the enthusiasm and confidence of the fans and the public, and enhance the image and reputation of China's soccer. At the same time, they will also bring new vitality and opportunities to our country's soccer and help the long-term development of our country's soccer.
Just today at 13:00 noon, the Football Association announced this surprising decision. 61-year-old Djurdjevic will be the head coach, a four-year contract, the annual salary does not exceed 1.2 million U.S. dollars. For China's soccer, the selection and hiring of coaches is only the first step, the key lies in how to integrate the teaching concepts of these coaches into the team, improve the technical and tactical level of the players, and develop more outstanding young players. Only in this way, China's soccer can usher in the real rise.
