Last week, Guoan Club just terminated its contract with former coach Bilic, and 6 days later finalized the new season manager, and the efficiency of Guoan Club this time caught fans off guard. It is understood that Bilic made a request to leave the club's senior management in the middle of the season, but under the persuasion of the club's chairman Zhou Jinhui, Bilic led the team to complete the second stage of the Chinese Super League task. The two sides "peacefully parted" at the end of the season. The Guoan club has also begun to look for candidates for the next manager since the end of the season.

In the "post-Golden Dollar Era" of Chinese football, the choice of local coaches who are familiar with the team has become a super trend in China. Xie Feng, a Beijing coach from Guoan, has naturally become a promising candidate for the club.

Born in 1966, Xie Feng played for Beijing Guoan Club and Shenzhen Club as a player, and won a first-time A-League runner-up and two FA Cup titles with Beijing Guoan. In addition, Xie Feng was selected for the national team in 1996 and represented the Chinese men's football team in the 1997 World Cup Asian Top 10.

After retiring in 2001, Xie Feng served as assistant coach and head coach of the Shenzhen team. In 2011, Xie Feng returned to Guoan Club and joined the coaching staff. In 2016, Xie Feng served as the acting head coach of the Guoan team in the middle of the season until the end of the season. In 2017, Xie Feng served as the leader of the Guoan team and the head of the Chinese coaching team. In 2018, Xie Feng joined Hebei and successively served as assistant coach, technical director, acting head coach and head coach of the club.

Guoan Club wrote in the announcement: "Xie Feng is good at discovering young people, and when coaching Guoan and Hebei teams, he has cultivated many outstanding young athletes. In terms of tactics, Xie Feng's guidance pays attention to defense, set-piece tactics are changeable, and the on-the-spot command ability is strong. Here, we welcome Xie Feng's return to Beijing Guoan Football Club and hope that he can give full play to his experience and coaching level to lead the team to achieve good results in the new season. ”

Guoan finished fifth in the Chinese Super League last season, and young players gradually occupied the main position. In the second season of the team's reconstruction, Xie Feng, who is familiar with the team's playing style and is good at cultivating new talents, will allow the Guoan team to make good use of this year's winter training and purposefully carry out reinforcement work to lay a good foundation for the Chinese Super League next season.
