At 10:00 a.m. Beijing time on January 9, The Official of Longmen in Songshan, Henan Province, announced that the 55-year-old Javier returned to coaching.
In order to go to La Liga Levante to coach, Javier submitted a resignation letter to The Dragon Gate of Songshan, Henan Province, on October 7 last year. Unexpectedly, 94 days later, Javier returned.
Before Javier left, Henan Songshan Longmen scored 18 points in the first stage, which was already 11 points ahead of Qingdao and Dalianren, so although they fell into the relegation group, they were already relegated like Shanghai Shenhua.
Receiving Henan Songshan Dragon Gate in the second half of the 2020 season, Javier led the team to a wave of 8 unbeaten rounds (6 wins and 2 draws) to complete the relegation. In the first stage of the 2021 season, Javier, who led the team to 18 points, was also an important contributor to the team's relegation. In front of the first departure from Henan Songshan Dragon Gate, Javier led the team to 20 games, 8 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses.
However, Javier went to La Liga Levante as a firefighting coach, and only led the team to play 7 La Liga games before leaving the class. Javier spent only 53 days in Levante, leading the team with a record of 3 draws and 4 defeats without a single victory.
After Javier resigned as the coach of Henan Songshan Dragon Gate, antonio, the assistant coach of the post-80s generation, became the acting coach of the team. However, from the perspective of the second stage of the game, Antonio is still relatively immature in terms of tactical arrangement and on-the-spot command, and now Henan Songshan Dragon Gate has signed a contract with Javier, which is also a good choice.
