Beijing Guoan recently officially announced the appointment of head coach Xie Feng, which is also the first local coach hired by Guoan recently, and many people believe that this is because Guoan recognized the reality and made a compromise decision. However, judging from the latest statement of Li Ming, general manager of Guoan, Guoan has more or less learned some lessons from the previous foreign teacher Billy Strange. According to the revelations of the general manager of Guoan, the former coach of Guoan, Bilic, did not disclose his intentions to the club before terminating the contract!
As we all know, Bilic began coaching Beijing Guoan in early January last year, when he was also regarded as one of the biggest coaches in Chinese football at present, Beijing Guoan has always insisted on hiring world-class coaches, Schmidt, Genesio to Bilic, all reflectIng Beijing's international vision. However, after Bilic coached Guoan, there were frequent rumors with other teams, especially the Turkish super Fenerbahce, and he repeatedly hoped that Bilic could coach, and scandals appeared endlessly!
Just during the second phase of this season's Chinese Super League, the news that Bilic will leave Guoan to coach Fenerbahce in January was exposed again, and Bilic openly denied it at the pre-match press conference in the 19th round of the Chinese Super League, bluntly saying that he was very professional, respected his work in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League, and only wanted to lead Guoan to play well, and the Internet was full of rumors! This also once made many Chinese fans believe it, and angrily rebuked the Turkish media that spread "rumors", believing that Bilic would continue to stay in Guoan!
However, as soon as the league ended, Bilic terminated his contract with Guoan, citing family reasons. In the latest interview after leaving the team, Bilic bluntly said that he wanted to leave Guoan as early as last summer, and his next stop was basically Fenerbahce, because Fenerbahce made him unable to refuse! Now, Guoan general manager Li Ming also gave an interview to the media, he talked about the reason why the team asked Xie Feng to coach: Bilic did not disclose his plans to the club in advance, so Guoan's time in the selection of the coach is very limited!
The news revealed by Li Ming can be seen that although the official reason is that Bilic left the Chinese Super League for family reasons, it is clear that Bilic's sudden termination made the team very passive, and even the Guoan club did not know Bilic's clear plan before! I have to say that Bilic's approach is really not authentic, and we also hope that the Chinese Super League can invite more loyal and capable foreign teachers in the future, and coaches such as Scolari and Lippi may be the best candidates!
