This season in the Chinese Super League is nearing the end, and the biggest title suspense of the Chinese Super League is about to be revealed. Shandong Taishan is currently 10 points ahead of the second place in the standings, and as long as they win in the next round, Taishan can lock up the Chinese Super League championship of the season three rounds in advance, and the team coach Hao Wei is about to make history.
Hao Wei is very likely to become the first local manager in the history of Shandong Taishan to lead the team to win the league. Previously, Taishan had won the championship in the A and The Chinese Super League four times, but these four championships were led by foreign coaches. The team won the league title in 1999 when the manager was Santrać, in 2006 and 2008 Tubbakovic won the championship, and in 2010 ivanovic led the team to win the championship.
If he can lead the team to win the Chinese Super League championship this season, Hao Wei will become the first local coach to lead the team to win the championship in 12 years after Hong Yuanshuo in 2009. Since the first year of the Chinese Super League in 2004, only three local managers have won the league championship before, namely Zhu Guanghu, Gao Hongbo and Hong Yuanshuo, and Hao Wei is about to become the fourth person.
In addition, if Taishan can win the championship this season, Hao Wei will become the first person in the history of China's top football league to win the championship as a player and manager. Since the professionalization of Chinese football in 1994, no one has ever been able to win the championship as a player and manager before, and Hao Wei is about to create a new history.
After replacing Li Xiaopeng as the coach of the Taishan team last year, Hao Wei's transformation of the team in a short period of time was immediate. He led the team to the FA Cup last season, ending a six-year championship drought for Captain Tarzan. This season, Hao Wei led the team to a double-line surge, in the league they are about to lock in the championship, the FA Cup team also reached the final final. If he can win the double title, Hao Wei's achievements and status among the current local managers will be unmatched.
