After the end of the Asian Cup, the Chinese national football team has entered a new stage of development. In this Asian Cup, the performance of the national football team was not satisfactory, which made the outside world have a clearer understanding of the actual level of the national football team. At present, it seems that the national football team is ranked between 15th and 20th in Asia, which is 8Five places seems quite far away. However, due to the long cycle of World Cup qualifying, the national football team still has the opportunity to improve its strength, but the first task is to qualify for the round of 18. Considering the final standings in the Asian Cup, the national team is barely in 18th place, which means getting into the round of 18 will be a tough challenge.
After the Asian Cup, the Chinese Football Association quickly convened a coaching committee to discuss the replacement of the head coach. At the same time as the dismissal of Jankovic, the Football Association identified Queiroz, Ivankovic and others as candidates for the new manager. Although the list of candidates had long been decided, subsequent progress seemed to have stalled. As time went on, Queiroz came close to becoming the manager of the Algerian national team, while Ivankovic also received numerous offers and plans to decide his future in the short term.
According to the domestic **, the selection of the national football coach is not without progress, and in fact, intense signing negotiations are underway, and it is progressing rapidly. It is expected that at the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the signing of the new manager will be completed, and he will be officially inducted within a week, and the official announcement will be completed by March. Based on information from all parties, Croatian Ivankovic is likely to become the new coach of the national football team, because the official announcement of Queiroz and the Algerian national team is close at hand. Ivankovic was immediately invited by many parties after leaving the Oman team, including many African teams, but he seems to be more inclined to coach the national football team, and his friends revealed that Ivankovic hopes to lead the national football team to the World Cup.
Once the new coach has signed his contract, he will quickly depart for China. Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, there is only one month left to prepare for the two world preliminary matches between the national football team and Singapore. In view of the poor performance of the national football team in the Asian Cup, the new coach will face a huge work pressure, from the selection of players to the training camp to improve the state, everything must be completed in just one month. The new coach will play the first two rounds of the Super League and combine the performance of the national football team in the Asian Cup to determine the national football team against Singapore. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Football Association will arrange a homegrown coach to make the transition first, which will depend on how smoothly the signing is.
It is reported that the Football Association has been working at full speed in the process of selecting the coach, and the work efficiency has been greatly improved, and the negotiation and signing of the new coach has not been affected during the Spring Festival, and it has always maintained contact with the candidates. Since there is no vacation overseas, the new coach is expected to complete the signing after the Spring Festival. If the 69-year-old Ivankovic becomes the new coach of the national football team, he should at least be more reliable than Jankovic, after all, he has surpassed in experience and level. In the next two World Cup games against Singapore, we will be able to take a preliminary assessment of the new manager's level of coaching.
In general, the national football team faces many challenges in the new stage, but there are also opportunities. Whether it is the selection of the new coach or the upcoming games, it will be an important test for the future development of the national football team. At this critical juncture, the national football team needs to show unity and determination to work hard for the goal of impacting the World Cup.
