On January 10, there was a series of heavy news in the Chinese volleyball arena. First of all, the Shandong Provincial Volleyball Sports Management Center confirmed that An Jiajie, the former assistant coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, replaced Li Yanlong as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team.
In fact, as early as January 8, there was news on the Internet. The relevant leaders of Shandong Provincial Volleyball Management Center went to Dongying to investigate the development of volleyball sports, and An Jiajie also accompanied the investigation. When referring to An Jiajie's position, he used the identity of the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team and the former coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. It can be seen that An Jiajie has once again served as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team.
An Jiajie was once a member of the Shandong men's volleyball team and was later selected for the Chinese men's volleyball team. After he retired from the army, he went to the Shandong women's volleyball team as a coach and knew the Shandong women's volleyball team very well. Since An Jiajie served as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team, it means that the original head coach Li Yanlong has left the class.
This is after Bao Zhuang, Lang Dao's left arm and right arm have returned to the club as the head coach of the club. An Jiajie and Bao Zhuang are assistant coaches that Lang Dao focused on training, and they were originally trained as successors. It's just that they have been following Lang Dao for several years, but they have not learned the essence of Lang Dao. Both led the second team of the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in the international competition alone, but the results were not good, so they were questioned by the majority of netizens. There have been voices of doubt about both of them online. They should know that too.
After Lang Dao announced his retirement, Bao Zhuang went to the newly established Shenzhen Zhongsai Women's Volleyball Team as the head coach, and won the eighth place in the new season of the Volleyball Super League. At this time, An Jiajie returned to the Shandong women's volleyball team as the head coach. The two are also self-aware and voluntarily withdraw from the national team coaching campaign.
At the same time, the Volleyball Association announced the "Announcement of the Volleyball Center of the General Administration of Sport on the Selection and Recruitment of the Head Coach of the National Women's Volleyball Team". In this announcement, the Volleyball Association announced the members of the "Leading Group for the Selection of Work and Expert Group". Lang Ping and Chen Zhonghe are both members of the panel.
A number of official media have taken this to believe that since Lang Dao is a member of the expert group, it is impossible to compete for a head coach. Although Lang Dao led the Chinese women's volleyball team to achieve good results in the Tokyo Olympic Games, there are still many people who hope that Lang Dao will continue to serve as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. She is the hottest head coach candidate.
Since Lang Dao has become a member of the expert group, Lang Dao is not suitable for competition. It would be unfair to be both a competitor and an examiner. Chen Zhonghe and Lai Yawen, who are also popular candidates, will not compete for the job, because they are members of the expert group.
Then the four popular candidates related to Lang Dao will not compete for the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Chen Zhonghe, Lai Yawen, An Jiajie, and Bao Zhuang all served as assistant coaches of Lang Dao, and they were all popular candidates, but they all did not expect to be out of the game in advance. It seems that the volleyball association intends to tear down and rebuild, and there are major adjustments in the construction of the team.
Since many hot spots have been out of the game in advance, who is more likely to be the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team?
In the announcement released by the Volleyball Association, requirements were put forward for the selection of the head coach.
This year's head coach needs to lead the team to complete the task of participating in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the 2022 World Championships, the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. That is, to lead the team to complete the Paris Olympic cycle.
The professional ability of the coaches should be strong, the management team should be strict, pay attention to team building, dare to train strictly and strictly manage. It is also necessary to have rich coaching experience and better coaching results. Pay attention to high-level composite team building, be able to effectively play and use the characteristics and expertise of different members of the coaching team, and be good at summarizing the training and participation work. Familiar with the situation of domestic women's volleyball players, with a clear team idea; understand the current situation and development trend of international women's volleyball.
Many coaches have "strict management team, rich coaching experience", familiar with the development of domestic and foreign volleyball is also more, but there are not many who lead the team to achieve better results. Cai Bin, Wang Baoquan, Wang Zhiteng, and Fang Yan all have these conditions.
Both Wang Baoquan and Cai Bin have extensive experience in training young players and have trained many young players in their respective clubs. This is something that other coaches can't match. Both have experience coaching the national team. The two have a clear advantage over other coaches.
The selection of the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team is becoming clearer and clearer, and it is estimated that Cai Bin and Wang Baoquan choose one of the two.
Now it depends on whether the two are willing to compete for the head coach of the national team. Of course, even if the two are not willing to compete, the Volleyball Association will require them to compete, just like the national football team.
Everyone thinks that of them, who is more likely to be elected?
