Jankovic set a record of shame for the national football team in the Asian Cup, and the Asian Cup national football team returned home early to disband, and Jankovic's resignation was a foregone conclusion.
There is not much time left before the World Preliminaries, the national football team has become a hot potato, whether it is a high voice in China Li Xiaopeng, Gao Hongbo, Jia Xiuquan, etc., are not interested in this position, and the famous coaches of the Chinese Super League, Qiao Di, Xu Zhengyuan and Cui Kangxi have an appointment with the club, and it is not realistic to serve as the head coach of the national football team, the Football Association is still inclined to foreign coaches, and after the retreat of Jinyuan Football, the Football Association has no ability to hire big-name coaches, and the national football coach has fallen into a crisis for a while.
The World Preliminary Tournament is about to start, and it is necessary to participate in the World Preliminary Tournament in such a short time, not to mention how much progress the national football team has, at least it cannot slide again. Such a candidate who is familiar with Asian and Chinese football and does not have too high a high price is the former Luneng Taishan head coach and Croatian Ivankovic.
Ivankovic's coaching experience has mostly been in Asia, having led Iran to a third-place finish in the Asian Cup and a World Cup final. He coached Shandong Taishan, won the 2010 Chinese Super League championship, and was also awarded the best coach of the Chinese Super League that year.
In this Asian Cup, Ivankovic led the team to Oman, and was killed by Saudi Arabia in the first stoppage time, and then was forced to draw by Thailand and Kyrgyzstan, and the group accumulated 2 points and went out. But he coached the Oman team to defeat Japan 1-0 in the World Preliminary Tournament and defeated the Chinese team in the warm-up match.
At present, Ivankovic has been out of class in the Oman national team, let him be the head coach of the national football team, can be seamless, his familiarity with Asian football and Chinese football, no less than any domestic head coach, and Ivankovic's annual salary is not higher than Jankovic, in view of these factors, Ivankovic has the highest probability of entering the national football team, hope to come true!
