Ivankovic: I am confident that I will lead the national football team to the World Cup!
Beijing Youth Daily recently reported that the former coach of the Oman national team, Ivankovic, said that he is very promising to become the coach of the Chinese national team. This news has attracted a lot of attention, not only because of Ivankovic's rich coaching experience, but also because he is full of passion and confidence in Chinese football.
Ivankovic told a friend that he had a role to play as a Chinese football coach"Lots of ideas"。This not only shows his importance and recognition of Chinese football, but also shows his confidence and determination in the face of this challenge. Regardless, Ivankovic is a very wealthy coach, having led Shandong Taishan to victory in the Chinese Super League in 2010 and was also the coach of Oman from 2020 to 2024. This experience has helped him to have a deeper understanding of Asia and Chinese football.
However, it is not an easy task to become a Chinese footballer. The current overall situation in China is not optimistic, so the Chinese Football Association is sparing no effort to hire foreign coaches. Branislav Ivanovic is offering a salary of about $1.5 million, a little more than Jankovic's team. In reality, a price between $1 million and $2 million might be more appropriate.
In this context, if the Chinese Football Association is indeed interested in Ivankovic, we must have more exchanges and consultations in order to ultimately achieve a win-win situation. At the end of the day, hiring foreign coaches is about improving Chinese football, not just about being famous.
Ivankovic is definitely one of the most charismatic players in Chinese football. His joining will bring new game ideas and competition methods to the Chinese men's basketball team and improve the comprehensive level of the team. And his experience and victories are also a kind of morale and self-confidence for Chinese football.
Hiring a foreign coach is not the only way for the national football team. If Chinese football wants to be truly revitalized, it must carry out all-round reform and development. This includes a lot of things, such as youth training, such as infrastructure, such as league management, and so on. If Chinese football wants to develop for a long time, it must fundamentally solve this problem, and this problem must be fundamentally solved. Therefore, the relationship between the Chinese Football Association and Ivankovic needs to be further strengthened, and only in this way can we better develop China's football career.
