A heavy news from the powerful Shenzhen team: the head coach Li Zhangsu left, Zhang Xiurui was appointed to take up the responsibility of temporary command, and Chen Tao was promoted to the chief assistant coach.
The official announcement revealed that after friendly consultation between both sides, Shenzhen Football Club and Li Zhangsu reached a consensus and decided to end their cooperation. Meanwhile, the coaching team has seen new changes: Zhang Xiurui has been appointed as the interim head coach, Chen Tao as the first assistant coach, Shen Xiangfu has taken on the new role of technical director, and Guan Zhen has taken on the role of goalkeeping coach.
Looking back to February 2022, Lee Jang-soo debuted in Shenzhen with his new tactics, worked diligently to energize the team, nurtured many new stars, and gave back to the fans with exciting matches even as the team's lineup changed. We pay tribute to Mr. Lee Jang-soo and his team for their dedication and wish them all the best for the future! Meanwhile, we also expect Coach Zhang Xiaorui to lead the team out of the difficulties and realize the relegation goal of the season.
However, in tonight's matchup with Dalian Ren, Shenzhen suffered a 1-5 defeat, their fifth consecutive loss, the last three of which have been by large margins. The team has now dropped to 13th place in the standings with only 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses in 15 matches.
