Since the outbreak of the "Li Tie case" last year, a new round of "anti-corruption and anti-gangster" storms have begun in domestic football, and the former and current leaders of various departments of the Football Association have fallen one after another, even Chen Jiayuan and Du Zhaocai and the two presidents of the Football Association have not been spared.
In order to deal with this emergency, the General Administration of Sports appointed a working group composed of 7 people, headed by Deputy Director Li Yingchuan, to temporarily manage all aspects of the work of the Football Association.
After Du Zhaocai's fall, the president and secretary of the Chinese Football Association, as well as his position as deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, were vacated. Next, who will be his successor has become the focus of many fans and media.
According to the latest news, the relevant departments have recently officially transferred Zhang Jiasheng, the former vice governor of Zhejiang Province, to the General Administration of Sports, and he will take up the post of deputy director left by Du Zhaocai's dismissal.
Zhang Jiasheng, a 55-year-old native of Hubei Province who once served as director of the Hubei Provincial Sports Bureau, was promoted to vice governor of Zhejiang Province earlier this year, mainly in charge of sports-related work. In less than half a year, Zhang Jiasheng was promoted again and became the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Jiasheng is currently the youngest deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, and it is not difficult to see how much trust the higher departments have in him.
Judging from Zhang Jiasheng's past resume, we can now basically determine that he will fully take over Du Zhaocai's work and become the new DW secretary of the Football Association after the re-election of the Football Association. At that time, Li Yingchuan can end his temporary work in the Football Association.
Although Li Yingchuan has worked for the General Administration of Sports for many years, he is not too familiar with the business in the football field. Therefore, the two vice presidents Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen who are really responsible for managing the work of the football association are now. Gao Hongbo is currently focusing on two businesses, one is the domestic third-tier league, and the other is the Chinese men's and women's football team. Sun Wen, who is currently mainly responsible for foreign affairs, recently traveled to Qatar to participate in the draw ceremony for the Asian Cup.
Although Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen are the real managers of all aspects of the FA's business, they have encountered many obstacles in their work. Previously, in order to help the domestic league get back on track as soon as possible, Gao Hongbo once proposed to suspend the neutral name policy, but Li Yingchuan refused. According to a well-known football media person surnamed L, Gao Hongbo also had a fierce dispute with Li Yingchuan because of this matter.
Through this, we can see that Gao Hongbo is only a temporary "talker" of the Football Association, and has no real power. Moreover, his qualifications and level are obviously insufficient, so it is impossible to become the helm of the future football association. Judging from the current situation, after the new leadership of the Football Association is confirmed, Gao Hongbo is likely to leave the Football Association and resume his job as the head coach of football.
And Sun Wen's situation is not much stronger than Gao Hongbo, even if he can continue to work in the Football Association, he will not have much real power, and he is likely to continue to be responsible for foreign affairs.
The inability of Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen to be reused is undoubtedly a major loss for Chinese football. Here, we hope that after Zhang Jiasheng takes office, he can do a good job in the work of the Football Association and help Chinese football get out of the trough as soon as possible.
