Title: Reshaping the glory of the national football team, Ivankovic's mission
Introduction:
After the defeat in the Asian Cup, the national football team is facing a severe test, and Jankovic's dismissal has become the focus of attention. With a new coach on the horizon, Chinese football is in dire need of a leader with extensive experience in Asian football. In the shortlist, Ivankovic is clearly the favorite to attract attention, and his arrival may inject new vitality and confidence into the national football team.
The Asian Cup defeat made Jankovic's departure almost a foregone conclusion, and the Chinese team was only a few months away from the world preliminaries. A change of coach at this time, although facing a weaker Singapore, may cause greater uncertainty. What kind of coach the national football team needs has become the focus of attention of the Football Association and fans.
The Football Association's selection of new managers has been preliminarily determined, and ** and people in the football circle have also put forward their own recommendations. The six alternative managers are Queiroz, Alexis Sanchez, Branislav Ivanovic, Choi Kang-hee, Jordi and Seo Jung-won. All six candidates have outstanding performances in terms of ability and experience, and are undoubtedly better candidates than Jankovic.
The Football Association favours a favourite for coaches with extensive experience in Asian football, with Queiroz, Alexis Sanchez and Branislav Ivanovic among the favourites on the shortlist. They have coached different national teams and clubs in Asia and have a deep understanding of Asian football. However, Queiroz and the other three are currently idle, while Alexis Sanchez has just stepped down after the Asian Cup and may need time to adjust.
Choi Kang-hee, Jodi and Seo Jung-won are another group of favourites on the shortlist, all of whom are currently under contract with Chinese Super League clubs. This brings up the dilemma of reaching a termination with the club at short notice, which could be a huge blow to the club. But these three coaches all have certain advantages in terms of strength and experience, which brings tangled choices to the Football Association.
In the shortlist, Ivankovic clearly became a striking presence. During his coaching career in Croatia, he has been involved in both Asia and Croatia, and has coached national teams such as Iran and Oman, as well as clubs such as Shandong Taishan, Dammam Cooperation, Persepolis and Jeddah National. With more than 20 years of experience in Asian football, especially after stepping down as the head coach of the Oman team, he expressed a strong interest in coaching the national football team, and even expressed his willingness to lead the national football team in the world preliminaries.
Ivankovic's salary** is around $1.5 million, which is slightly higher than Jankovic's team. Although this is not an astronomical figure in football, the Football Association still needs to consider the financial situation when considering the selection of a manager to ensure that it is affordable.
The process of selecting a coach for the national football team may be relatively cumbersome, especially when Song Kai changes coaches for the first time after taking office. The previous selection process has gone through multiple rounds of selection, and this time it may also require a complex set of procedures, and there may even be an interim manager. This may be an additional challenge for the national football team to prepare for the World Preliminaries.
The addition of Ivankovic may bring a new atmosphere to the national football team, but solving the problems of Chinese football is by no means within the reach of one person. The new manager needs to settle in on the team and adjust the tactical system in a short period of time, and the players need to be mentally prepared. The national football team needs not only an excellent coach to get out of the trough, but also an all-round improvement of the entire system. With the World Preliminary Tournament approaching, Chinese football is standing at a new starting point, and I look forward to Ivankovic leading the national football team to usher in new glory.
