Tonight's reporter, Shen Wei, reveals that doubts are rising about Javier's coaching ability, and it is feared that there will be a change in the Shanghai Harbor team's head coaching position. If the harbor team is determined to change the manager, Xie Hui is undoubtedly the ideal successor candidate.
Despite Javier's success in leading Shanghai Seaport to the 2023 Chinese Super League title, there are still doubts about his coaching level. This is especially true in the case of the AFC Champions League play-offs, where a defeat amplified the doubts. At the moment, Javier's stay or departure is uncertain, and whether he will be succeeded by a foreign coach or local star Xie Hui has become a hot topic of discussion among Shanghai fans.
Although Harbour have topped the Chinese Super League, Javier's position as coach is in jeopardy. There have been many calls for him to step down since the AFC Champions League play-off defeat against Thailand's Pathum United. At the end of the Super League, Harbour's lead has gradually shrunk, indirectly reflecting the dubiousness of Javier's coaching.
As the Chinese Super League season comes to an end, the two giants of Shanghai Bund may both be in for a change of manager. However, with Wu Jingui at the helm of Shanghai Shenhua winning the AFC Cup, the pressure on Javier at Harbour is intensifying. If the Seaports are looking for a change of manager, Xie Hui, who coached Dalian, would be the ideal candidate, as he knows his old club well and would not have to worry about adapting to it.
