In the latest world ranking of the ITTF, Sun Yingsha has surpassed Chen Meng to reach the top of the world for the first time, but unfortunately she still has no head coach. Even Chen Xuan, the coach of the men's team who temporarily brought Sun Yingsha, also reported that he had resigned and returned to the provincial team. From the current point of view, the national table tennis coaching team is short of people, and the problem of Sun Yingsha's lack of coaching is still continuing.
Chen Xuan was originally a male table tennis coach, and the nominally in charge of the team includes Olympic champions such as Ma Long and Xu Xin, as well as good seedlings like Xiang Peng. In the case that Huang Haicheng resigned due to family reasons and Sun Yingsha did not have a coach in charge, Chen Xuan took on the heavy responsibility of Sun Yingsha's temporary coach.
In the Houston World Championships, the Singapore World Cup, and the Macau Championship, Chen Xuan dutifully helped Sun Yingsha and received praise! Just when the fans were expecting Chen Xuan to go further and become the head coach of Sun Yingsha, the news suddenly came out that Chen Xuan wanted to return to Jiangsu.
Some netizens posted screenshots with the Jiangsu authorities, showing that Chen Xuan voluntarily resigned as a national team coach for personal reasons and has now returned to the provincial team. Documents released late last year by the Nanjing Institute of Physical Education showed that Chen Xuan was hired as a men's table tennis first-line coach for a term from January 2022 to the end of December 2025.
Although there is no official announcement on the national table tennis side, various evidence shows that Chen Xuan's return to the provincial team is a foregone conclusion.
In fact, the position of national team coach looks glamorous, but due to the heavy task of training and playing with the team all year round, he often lives separately from his family. Looking around at the current national table tennis coaching team, there are only male coaches at present, and the previous female coaches Zhang Qin and Guo Yan have resigned!
Now the male coach can't bear it, Huang Haicheng just resigned just to go home and take care of his two daughters, and Chen Xuan now has a young daughter who needs to be accompanied.
At present, Yang Guangdi, the coach of the Hebei Provincial Team, has once again rushed to the aid of national table tennis, and he came to Hainan to gather with Sun Yingsha. In the days when Sun Yingsha did not have a head coach, Yang Guangdi had come to the national team for the second time to help Sun Yingsha. However, it must be pointed out that although Yang Guangdi and Sun Yingsha are as close as father and daughter, he admits that there are not many who can teach Sun Yingsha in terms of technology.
Under the background of Chen Meng's still strong and Wang Manyu's strong rise, Sun Yingsha wants to keep the world number one and want to impact the Grand Slam, which is absolutely indispensable to the help of the head coach. There are not many competent coaches suitable for Sun Yingsha, and if Chen Xuan leaves again, it will be really worse!
Yang Guangdi can still help Sun Yingsha during the training camp, can he still accompany the team once he goes abroad to play? At that time, I am afraid that I will have to rely on the personal command of the old marshal Li Falcon. The problem is that Li Falcon's physical condition is not good, before missing the Macau tournament is to recuperate, but also to take care of the entire team of women's table tennis, how much help can sun Yingsha provide?
