Chief reporter Chen Yong reportsAlthough it has not been officially announced that Jankovic will leave class, the national football team has officially opened the selection of coaches: at the beginning of February, the Chinese Football Association officially convened relevant experts of the coaching committee to discuss the relevant content of the coach selection; Subsequently, it was revealed that the Chinese Football Association had begun to contact the target candidates. After missing the group qualification for the Asian Cup, the relevant parties of the Football Association had preliminary communication with Jankovic, and Jankovic did not choose to return to China with the team, but boarded a flight back to his hometown Belgrade in Qatar, which also means that the change of coach of the national football team has become a fait accompli. In the following period, the Chinese Football Association began to conduct a preliminary study and judgment on the selection of coaches, such as basically vetoing the plan to hire foreign coaches who are coaching in the Chinese Super League, the reason is very simple, in addition to considering the situation of Cui Kangxi, Qiao Di and Xu Zhengyuan, the practice of "digging the corner of the Super League" is also easy to cause more criticism. 
Because of the tight schedule, the Chinese Football Association has also accelerated the pace of coach selection: on January 24, the national football team returned to China after the Asian Cup journey, and only a week later, the Chinese Football Association held a meeting of the coach committee to discuss topics related to the selection of coaches. The meeting required strict confidentiality, but the topic was nothing more than the direction and goal of the selection of the manager. After the meeting, the selection of coaches also quickly entered the next stage, that is, after comprehensive research and judgment, communication with the target coach, which is actually a very important process of selecting coaches. According to the news learned by this reporter, the Chinese Football Association has begun to contact the target candidates, which also means that the selection of coaches has entered a substantive stage. At present, the primary goal of the national football coach selection is naturally to be familiar with and understand the coaches of Chinese football or Asian football, and in this regard, coaches with coaching experience in the Asian national team such as Ivankovic and Queiroz have naturally become the main candidates. Ivankovic, for example, has experience in the Chinese Super League and even won the Chinese Super League, and subsequently coached professional clubs in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Iran, and in fact, he was the head coach of the Iranian national team before taking charge of Taishan. In 2020, Ivankovic served as the head coach of the Oman national team, and under his coaching, the Oman national team has made significant progress, including 1 win and 1 draw against the national football team in the last round of 12, and once led the team to defeat Japan 1-0. 
Of course, the national football team also has other goals or directions for selecting coaches, such as coaches who have coached Chinese Super League teams and achieved success. In addition, the selection direction also includes coaches who do not understand Asian football but have a successful experience in European national teams, but this selection will be more difficult. If the selection of the coach is blocked, what kind of plan will the Chinese Football Association take? At present, in the case that the Taishan team will participate in the AFC Champions League in a week, and the Chinese Super League will start in more than 20 days, it is difficult to choose a foreign coach who is coaching the Chinese Super League. Considering the reality of Chinese football, the new coach cannot undertake the task of unifying the national brands at all levels, on the contrary, this work should be started by the low-age national teams, so the task of the new coach of the national football team will focus on the national football itself. First of all, qualifying for the round of 36 is the most realistic and fundamental task; Secondly, on this basis, it is also a basic requirement for the national football team to show a good technical and tactical style. On the basis of completing the first two requirements, the new coach of the national football team can take on more responsibilities. For the Chinese Football Association, the supervision and support of the new coach are indispensable. As far as supervision is concerned, the selection process, objectives and supervision, including follow-up support guarantees, are indispensable.
