[March 17 Express] Dalian People Football Club recently hung out seeking the position of first-team head coach, according to Soccer Daily, as of the March 16 deadline.
Six footballers have already submitted their applications for the job, with the list including Li Bing, Xie Hui, Sun Wei, Guo Hui, Jia Xiuquan and Zhang Yuning. Rumor has it that Li Tie, a well-known coach who coached the national football team, has also joined the competition, but this claim has not been officially confirmed by the Dalian People's Club.
Presumably, over the next two days, the panel of supervisors in charge of the selection will evaluate the candidates in public presentations via web-based videoconferencing. It is expected that around March 20, we will reveal the final selection results.
If you look at the strength and popularity of the applicants alone, outsiders might mistake this for a national team head coaching competition. This undoubtedly reflects the strong attraction of Dalian People's Club after the completion of the equity reform.
