The 67-year-old Alihan announced the end of his coaching career and led the national football team to the runner-up of the Asian Cup

According to the latest reports of Dutch media such as Football News, former Chinese national football coach and Dutchman AliHan recently announced the end of his head coaching career. In an interview, Alihan admitted that his body could no longer bear the pressure of the head coach's work, so he could only choose to retire.

Arihan said: "The doctor told me that my heart problem had become very obvious and therefore advised me to retire. For me, if I can't get satisfaction from the pitch, then it should be over. So, I decided to retire, and that was fine. ”

Arihan, 67, was a famous Dutch star in the 1970s, and together with Cruyff and others, he created the glory of Ajax. After retiring, Alihan took up the coaching whip, but achieved far less than when he was a player. Alihan is best known for succeeding Milu after the 2002 World Cup as the head coach of the Chinese national football team.

In 2004, at the Asian Cup held in China, Ali Han led the national football team to eliminate strong opponents such as Iraq and Iran, and met with Japan in the final, but the opponent won the runner-up. In November of the same year, Arihan was sacked by the Chinese Football Association because he was eliminated in the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup. It is worth mentioning that Ali Han led the national football team to a record of 18 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, and the 57% winning rate is second only to the 58% winning rate of the current national football coach Gao Hongbo

Since then, AliHan has coached The Chinese Super League team Chongqing Lifan and Tianjin Teda, and led TEDA to win the second place in the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. Last season, Arihan led Teda to successful relegation.
