On the night of the 8th, Beijing Guoan club officially released a message, announced with the head coach Bilic and his team reached an early termination of the contract agreement, Bilic will no longer serve as the team's head coach. Croatian coach Bilic in the morning has been completed with the national security of the contract formalities. According to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, the main reason for the early termination of the contract is that Bilic's family has a serious condition, and it is difficult for him to take care of his career and family responsibilities at the same time in China. Since joining Guoan at the beginning of 2021 and leaving at the beginning of 2022, Bilic led the team to participate in the domestic league and cup competitions throughout the season, including 22 league games with 9 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, and ultimately finished fifth in the league. As for his successor, there is no clear candidate yet.
Despite the contract with Guoan in the body, but from November last year, about Bilic will be released early to go to the European club coaching news will be boisterous. The Turkish media even directly pointed out that Bilic will replace the departed Pereira to become the new head coach of Fenerbahce. However, Bilic completed all eight games with the team in the second phase of the Guingamp campaign and said he would fulfill his contract with Guingamp. Although the final fifth place finish was not ideal, it was not easy to achieve such a result considering the squad that Guoan had at the time.
It is reported that after returning to Beijing with the team on the 5th, Bilic's team will discuss the early termination of the contract with Guoan Club, mainly because Bilic's family has a serious condition and he can't take care of his family. Therefore, he chose to terminate the contract with the team in advance. After the early termination of the contract, Bilic team members will also be with him to leave China, the end of this one-year coaching career.
During Bilic's tenure at Beijing Guoan, the team's performance has fluctuated, with victories over Shanghai Shenhua and Guangzhou, as well as six consecutive rounds without a win. As a result, fans and media were not satisfied with the results achieved by Bilic's team. However, the Croatian is also helpless, because compared with his predecessor Genesio, Bilic's hands of player resources is really limited, and even in quite a long time only Bakambu a foreign aid available. To the second stage, only Anderson Silva such as foreign strikers available, can achieve such results, Bilic is also worthy of the job.
With Bilic's departure, the position of Guoan's head coach is temporarily vacant. So, who will be the next head coach of Guoan? There is no clear candidate yet, and even the question of whether to use a local coach or hire a foreign coach has not yet been finalized. According to the past selection criteria of Guoan club, it should choose a talented and famous foreign coaches, but considering the current environment and salary limitations of the whole Chinese soccer, the possibility of finding this level of foreign coaches is not big. Ultimately, who can take over Bilic's coaching whip will become the focus of the near future of the national security topic.
