On the afternoon of February 3, the Volleyball Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport officially issued an announcement announcing cai bin as the head coach of the new Chinese women's volleyball team. In the announcement, it was mentioned why Cai Bin was chosen, which was comprehensively reviewed by the selection and recruitment work expert group, recommended by the leading group for selection and recruitment, and studied by the Party Committee of the Volleyball Center of the General Administration of Sport and reported to the State General Administration of Sport for approval. This is Cai Bin's second time as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, as early as 2009, he was briefly the director, but then because of the Asian Championship final defeat to Thailand, it was greatly controversial, regrettably "dismissed", and later replaced by Wang Baoquan in 2010. This time, Cai Bin returned to the Chinese women's volleyball team and took over the national team that Lang Ping had coached for 8 years, facing a great task and pressure, which can be imagined.
Born on October 7, 1966, Cai Bin is nearly 56 years old this year. From his time as an athlete, he played as a second passer, starting in Shanghai and then entering the national team until his retirement in 1996. In 1997, he officially became the head coach of the Shanghai women's volleyball team and began his coaching career. Since 1999, he has also served as the head coach of the women's volleyball national youth team, and since 2001, he has been the head coach of the national youth team, during which he led the team to participate in four World Youth Championships, won two runners-up, two third places, and sent a large number of talents to the national team, including Liu Yanan, Song Nina, Li Juan, Li Shan, Xue Ming, Wang Yimei, Wei Qiuyue, Hui Ruoqi, etc. have been the proud disciples under Cai Bin. As early as 2001, Cai Bin had competed for the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball national team, but at that time he was still a young coach and was not elected.
On March 23, 2009, Cai Bin officially became the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball national team, this time he took over the golden generation of the Chinese women's volleyball team led by the famous coach Chen Zhonghe for eight years. Although the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to complete the defense of the title at the Beijing Olympic Games, during the period led by Chen Zhonghe, it has won the Athens Olympic Games and the World Cup, as well as the Grand Champions Cup, the Women's Volleyball Grand Prix Finals and other championships, even in the Beijing Olympic Games, it also won a bronze medal. In the face of such a Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin after taking over, the pressure can be imagined, the new and old alternate, the team is rebuilt, but unfortunately, in the Women's Volleyball Asian Championship in September 2009, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 1-3 to the Thai women's volleyball team in the final, and after 2007, it was once again unsuccessful to win the championship. The Thai women's volleyball team became the Asian champion for the first time, Cai Bin suffered from huge pressure from the outside world, when it was rumored that Cai Bin was going to leave class, and as a result, on March 25, 2010, Wang Baoquan succeeded Cai Bin as the new head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Cai Bin's first national team coaching experience was only one year.
After leaving the national team, Cai Bin put his energy and mind on the coaching of the club, during which he led the Beijing women's volleyball team to complete the league promotion, and once won the fourth place in the league, during which the away victory over the Evergrande women's volleyball team, home and away double kill Tianjin women's volleyball team, have become the classic moments of the league. At the 2013 Liaoning National Games, he led the Beijing women's volleyball team to the sixth place. In 2014, Cai Bin officially became the head coach of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, during which he led the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to win the league championship, the National Games championship and other achievements, and the league achievements in recent years were basically stable in the top three ranks, and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team sent several major national team main players Hui Ruoqi, Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu, Diao Linyu and other people, are inseparable from Cai Bin's careful training.
For Cai Bin, choosing to take over the position of head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team at this moment requires a lot of courage and motivation, after all, the team he took over this time is another ace team that has experienced the peak moment, and the world-class famous coach Lang Ping has been coaching for eight years, and he is also the champion who has won the Olympic Games, the World Cup and other championship results. For the Paris Olympic Games cycle of only three years, the Chinese women's volleyball team will need to face tasks such as the World Championships and the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2022, and the 2023 Women's Volleyball World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games will become big tests. How Cai Bin can take over the Chinese women's volleyball national team in the shortest possible time, dispatch troops, and complete the reconstruction of the team is a top priority. And how to break through the influence of the post-Lang Ping era, this is perhaps the biggest test for him.
