Wu Jingui was out of class, and the coach who led Shanghai Shenhua to the FA Cup championship failed to retain his position in the end. Objectively, this result is understandable. After all, Wu Jingui's coaching level is indeed limited, and for the rising Shenhua, a higher-level coach is needed to lead the team forward. At present, several teams with the ability to win the championship in the Chinese Super League are not very stable.
Both Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan are experiencing internal turmoil, Shanghai Port's main squad is on the older side, and Oscar may be in its final year. In contrast, Shanghai Shenhua's squad is young and strong, and now is a good time to sprint. Coupled with the fact that Shenhua is expected to qualify for the AFC Champions League, the club needs a more capable coach to meet the challenge. Therefore, the decision to change the coach is actually reasonable, after all, professional football is about results.
But if Shenhua does not pay Wu Jingui according to the contract, it will be a bit undignified, after all, the spirit of contract is an indispensable part of professional football. After learning the news of the dismissal, Wu Jingui's handling was very wise. He first expressed his gratitude to Shenhua Club and Jiushi Group, and thanked the team for giving him the opportunity to display his talents. Then, he said that he would continue to communicate with the management on the contract issue, and said that he would continue to support Shenhua Club, showing a professional and mature attitude.
Finally, he said that he will not leave football and will continue to contribute to Chinese football. These statements, in fact, also hint at his plans for the future. The implication is more like conveying his will to other clubs, expressing his determination to continue to shine in the Chinese football world. And given his experience and connections, he might prefer to stay at the front of professional football. After all, when Shenhua did not renew his contract, he offered to let him continue to serve as technical director, but he chose to refuse.
This further confirms that he prefers to continue to develop in a coaching role. In the future, where will Wu Jingui go?Perhaps the answer has been revealed in his statement. His sentence of "making contributions to Chinese football without hesitation" is actually paving the way for his future development. Given his knowledge and connections in the Chinese football community, he has the ability to lead some teams with limited strength to achieve relegation, such as teams like Cangzhou, Nantong and Dalian.
From this point of view, teams such as the promoted horse Qingdao West Coast, the downstream teams of the Chinese Super League, Meizhou Hakka, Changchun Yatai, and Cangzhou Lions may become Wu Jingui's next home. Fans, what do you think about this?Welcome to leave a message in the comment area**!
