While the Asian Cup has just ended, and fans are still reeling from the poor performance of the Chinese men's football team, the teams of neighboring countries have already begun to set their sights on the 2026 World Cup qualifiers!
The 2026 World Cup Qualifiers Asian Round of 36 is of great significance to the Chinese men's football team.
However, the current pending head coach of the Chinese men's football team has also ushered in new variables.
According to online news, Gao Hongbo, the popular candidate for the head coach of the national football team, has been eliminated, and foreign coaches have once again become new candidates.
It is reported that foreign coach Jurgen Klinsmann has become a popular candidate for the head coach of the national football team.
The unexpected dismissal of Klinsmann, the former head coach of the South Korean men's football team, has indeed brought opportunities to the Chinese men's football team.
As a former rival team, Klinsmann has studied the Chinese men's football team a lot, and the South Korean team once regarded the Chinese men's football team as a key training object.
With this alone, Klinsmann has a huge advantage over the other contenders.
For Gao Hongbo, many fans also expressed great regret that Gao Hongbo is one of the few candidates within the Football Association who can serve as the head coach of the national football team.
Many fans said that Klinsmann is a good coach, but I don't know if the Chinese men's football team that leads the current state can improve a little? Because the age of this national team has become the biggest problem.
In addition, the Football Association has not made a decision on the reform of the national football system for a long time, which wastes a lot of time to improve the quality of the national football team.
With the 2026 World Cup qualifiers about to begin, can Klinsmann succeed as the head coach of the Chinese men's football team? We'll see!
