After nearly half a year of waiting, the Chinese Volleyball Association finally issued an official announcement, saying that it would conduct the open selection of the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The task of the new manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team is very clear, first of all, this autumn's Asian Games, then the World Championships and the World Cup, and the ultimate goal is to return to the peak in the 2024 Olympic Games. The Chinese women's volleyball team suffered a fiasco in the Olympic Games this summer, the team is also facing a replacement, and considering Zhu Ting's long-term injury, Yan Ni and other meritorious players retired, it is only more than half a year from the opening of the Asian Games, no matter who the new manager is, there will be many difficulties to overcome, and the burden on the body is not lighter than when Lang Ping coached in 2013.
After Lang Ping announced his resignation in September last year, the position of coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team has been vacant, and many candidates have been proposed by the outside world, of which Lang Ping, Chen Zhonghe, An Jiajie, Wang Baoquan and Shen Qiong are the main representatives. Lang Ping is the head of the Chinese women's volleyball team for more than 8 years, her coaching level and achievements are beyond doubt, but even the best coaches have a low point, with age, her physical condition can not meet the needs of long-term high-intensity work. Although in principle, Lang Ping is the best candidate to lead the Chinese women's volleyball team to rejuvenation, but considering the objective situation, the possibility of her returning to the women's volleyball team is almost zero.
In the list of coaching expert groups released by the Chinese Volleyball Association, we also found Lang Ping's name, which shows that she will not re-run the Chinese women's volleyball team. At the same time, Chen Zhonghe, a famous coach who once led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the championship in Athens, also entered the expert group, which also means that he will not re-coach the women's volleyball team. An Jiajie was originally regarded as the first successor of Lang Ping, he followed Lang Ping for many years, long-term as the assistant coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the team's development state in the past two Olympic cycles are the most understanding, but his coaching ability is almost hot, especially not domineering enough, criticized by many fans. Previously, An Jiajie confirmed his appointment as the manager of the Shandong women's volleyball team, which means that he is also not eligible for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Then, the coaches who are most likely to coach the Chinese women's volleyball team are Wang Baoquan and Shen Qiong. Wang Baoquan is a famous coach in the Chinese volleyball world, currently serving as the head coach of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, and led the team to win the championship at the National Games in September last year. Wang Baoquan's biggest advantage is that several core players of the national team are playing for tianjin, especially Li Yingying, who has grown very fast under him. If Wang Baoquan can serve as the manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team, he can basically achieve seamless docking, and his seniority and prestige will also fully convince the players. But Wang Baoquan and Lang Ping are similar in age, the physical condition is not very good, the last time he coached the Chinese women's volleyball team, he resigned halfway because of health problems, the Chinese Volleyball Association strives for stability, certainly does not want to see a similar situation repeat, and from the Chinese Volleyball Association announced the selection criteria, the age does not meet the standard.
In this way, Shen Qiong, the representative of the young zhuang school coach, will become the biggest favorite of the new manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Shen Qiong was a member of the Shanghai men's volleyball team in his early years, and also coached in the Shanghai team after retiring, and led the team to win the league championship for 9 consecutive times in the player era, and the coach era helped the team dominate the domestic volleyball world for 6 consecutive times. Previously, Shen Qiong deliberately had a beard mingzhi to cheer for the Shanghai men's volleyball team's national games to win the championship, which shows that he is a very determined person and meets the requirements of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In addition, Shen Qiong's virtuous wife has been silently supporting his career behind his back, allowing him to engage in coaching work without distraction, and without worries, he can also completely let go of his hands and feet in the Chinese women's volleyball team.
