With Shandong Taishan team lifting the Vulcan Cup, the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League has come to an end, and just after the end of the season, the league giants Beijing Guoan Club have issued an announcement on their official website announcing the termination of the contract with the team manager Slavin Bilic, which means that the Croatian coach will not continue to serve as the head coach of the Beijing Guoan team.
On January 16 last year, Bilic took over as the new manager of Beijing Guoan, but under his leadership, the overall performance of the team did not have much improvement, even in the case of a large number of foreign aides left the team from other teams, Beijing Guoan still played in the second stage, only got 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, and finally only ranked fifth in the league, and even did not qualify for the AFC Champions League.
From the coaching level performance, Bilic seems to have been unable to find a reasonable tactic for this Beijing Guoan team, the team's performance has always been up and down, although with his help, Zhang Yuning's overall performance this season has improved significantly, but in addition, Bilic has no bright performance for the Guoan team.
Li Xuan, editor-in-chief of the famous magazine "Football News", commented on Bilic's departure, in his view, Bilic's departure should be a reasonable thing, because the two sides could not find a suitable rhythm during the cooperation period, so it was also reasonable to finally choose to break up peacefully.
After leaving Beijing Guoan, Bilic is likely to join the Turkish Super League giants Fenerbahce, purely from the perspective of coaching ability, Bilic is undoubtedly still an excellent head coach, but his style of play, as well as the degree of understanding of Chinese football, are incompatible with Beijing Guoan, which is also the main reason why the two sides chose to break up. With the departure of Bilic, Beijing Guoan also needs to find a suitable manager in the offseason, a club with a long history that will continue to work hard for the team's dream of competing for the Chinese Super League title, looking forward to next season, they can bring some different things to the fans.
