"The national football team is in and out, and the 70-year-old coach takes office! "！
At the same time, the Chinese national team also issued two official statements one after another, one of which was that Ivanovic was appointed as the head coach of the national football team, and the other was the dismissal of Jankovic. These two announcements mark that Jankovic's rule has passed, Ivanovic's rule has become history, and the national team will also usher in a new era, what they want to do is to make Chinese football recover from the slump, and this is also their purpose. Whether it is resume, experience, or level, it makes people feel that Ivankovic is more popular.
Ivankovic is almost 70 years old and his fitness and energy are worrying, but his age brings more experience with him. The Croatian has coached teams in Iran as well as Oman and spent three years in Oman. His best result was a World Cup qualifier in Qatar with Oman beating Japan to finish fourth in the group, while China finished fifth.
Ivankovic, who led Oman to two draws and one defeat in the Asian Cup, was also sacked. This time, Ivankovic was appointed as the head coach of the Chinese Football Association, which is a very important thing. Ivankovic is well known for his outstanding performances during his time in Shandong Taishan. In December 2009, he coached Luneng and led Taishan to win the Chinese Super League championship in his first year of coaching; The following year, Ivankovic played his own results in the Chinese Super League with an upper-average result, and got the experience of a Chinese football coach, which is certainly a big gain, but the reason why the Chinese Football Association selected him was also because of another factor.
It's no surprise that Jankovic was expelled, he has been in office for more than a year, and he hasn't changed much except for a tough dose of the team's military discipline, and there hasn't been much to show for it other than the good results he achieved in the game, but in the World Qualifiers, it was also comforting to be able to beat Thailand at home. This is Jankovic's first senior team in the country, and a large part of this is due to a lack of experience and strength. Will Ivankovic pull off a miracle?
Yi Shuai is not too late to take office, just in time for the start of the "Super Cup" and "Super League", but there are still two rounds of World Cup qualifying matches before Singapore, and there is not much time left for him. It is understood that Yi Shuai will conduct the first phase of training of the national team in Shenzhen around the 12th of March, and then go to Singapore, go to Shenzhen on March 21, and return to Tianjin after playing Singapore, waiting for the warm-up match in Singapore on March 26, and wish Yi Shuai can lead the national team to a good start.
