In the 23rd season, Cui Kangxi and Xu Zhengyuan, two Korean coaches, led Shandong Taishan and Chengdu Rongcheng to achieve good results, according to **, another Korean coach who had coached the Jiangsu Suning team Cui Longzhu will coach the Henan team.
It can be seen that the Chinese Super League has begun to become popular again, and in fact, there was a period of Korean coaches in the A-A period.
The first Korean coach to coach in China was Choi Eun-taek, known as Professor Choi, who coached Jilin Aodong FC from 1997 to 1998.
The most successful South Korean coach in China is Lee Jang-so, who coached many Chinese teams such as Guoan, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Qingdao, etc., from 1998 to 2022, winning one Chinese Super League championship and two FA Cup championships.
In addition, there is Kim Jong-nam, who coached Shandong Luneng Taishan in 1998 and Qingdao Manatee in 1999Che Fangen coached in Shenzhen from 1998 to 1999Park Tae-ha coached Yanbian Jiade Xinle from 2015 to 2013From 2011 to 2022, Zhang Wailong coached teams such as Albin and ChongqingHong Mingfu coached Zhejiang Greentown from 2016 to 2017Park Zhongjun served as the Tianjin Tianhai team twice from 2018 to 2019;Kim Jong-fu has coached the Hebei team since 2021.
The reason why so many Korean coaches are coaching in China is mainly because Korean coaches are more dedicated, strict in training, and have a large amount of training, and their coaching style requires players to fight and run more on the court.
Most of the Chinese players are lazy on or off the field, and they are often lazy in training, but after a fierce training by the Korean coach, both physical fitness and game style have been improved, so that the team's mental outlook and performance will be significantly improved.
Moreover, most of the Korean coaches have good character and charismatic personality such as Choi Eun-taek, Choi Kang-hee, Zhang Wailong, Kim Jong-fu, etc., who can gain the respect of the players, so they can maintain a good interpersonal relationship with the players.
However, there are also some coaches who are too strict or stubborn and unapproachable, and are opposed by players and clubs, so they are dismissed.
After the beginning of the Jinyuan era of the Chinese Super League, the world's big foreign aid poured into the Chinese Super League, and the Korean coach began to be unpopular in the Chinese Super League, mainly because the Korean coach brand is too small to suppress the big-name foreign aid, and the Korean coach is Asian-level after all, and the technical and tactical level is still far from the world's advanced level.
At that time, world-class big-name coaches such as Lippi, Capello, Peigong and others replaced Korean coaches.
Now that the Chinese Super League has ended the Jinyuan era, big-name foreign aid has left, and gradually domestic players have begun to dominate the league, so South Korean coaches have begun to enter China again.
The South Korean coach is fully suitable for the Chinese players, and can also shock the unknown foreign aid of the Chinese Super League, and can improve the physical fitness of the Chinese players and improve their style of play like the A era, which can quickly improve the team's performance and mental outlook.
Personally, I feel that there will be more Korean coaches to coach in the Chinese Super League in the future, and with Korean coaches, at least the physical fitness of Chinese players can be improved, and they can run instead of wandering around in the game.
Our other neighbor Japan, although Japanese football has reached the world's second-rate level, but there are not too many Japanese coaches in China, so far there are only two people Takeshi Okada of the former Zhejiang team, and now Takada Mian of Wuhan Three Towns.
The reason why there are few Japanese coaches is that Japanese coaches emphasize more technology and pay attention to cooperation, and the basic skills of Chinese players are too poor to complete the skills and tactics of Japanese coaches and meet the requirements of Japanese coaches.
Therefore, Japanese coaches are more suitable for youth training in China, and it is difficult to succeed in leading the first team.
