Yang Xu was elected as the 7th chairman of the company, and he was the first doctor of the company
The Chinese Super League has ushered in a new leader. On December 13, Yang Xu, vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, officially took over as chairman of the Chinese Super League, becoming the seventh helmsman since the establishment of the company. Yang Xu is not only the chairman with the highest education in the history of the company, but also the first chairman with a doctorate. Will his arrival bring new changes and hope to the Chinese Super League?
Yang Xu's appointment was deliberated and approved by the board of directors of the company. It is reported that the Chinese Football Association, as the major shareholder of the Chinese Super League, nominated Yang Xu as the only new chairman candidate. Yang Xu is currently the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association in charge of professional league work, responsible for the management and development of the league. He has extensive experience and expertise in the field of football.
Yang Xu's academic background has also made him a highlight of the Super League. He is 50 years old and graduated from Beijing Sport University with a doctorate. His research and academic abilities may also provide valuable references for the reform and innovation of Chinese football.
In addition to football, Yang Xu is also involved in other sports. Prior to joining the Chinese Football Association, he worked at the Handball Baseball and Softball Center of the General Administration of Sports, where he was responsible for the management and promotion of handball, hockey, baseball and softball. He has served as President of the Chinese Softball Association, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Baseball Association, and Vice President of the World Baseball and Softball Federation for Softball Asia. He has also made his own contributions and efforts to the development of these projects.
Yang Xu succeeded Liu Jun, the former chairman of the company, and inherited a "high-risk" job. The previous six chairmen of the Super League company all stepped down or were investigated for suspected corruption or violations of discipline and law. The management and operation of the Super League company has also been questioned and criticized by the outside world. Can Yang Xu break this vicious circle and bring new atmosphere and vitality to the Chinese Super League? Can he use his academic style to formulate a more scientific, more reasonable, and more effective development strategy for the Chinese Super League? These questions will test his wisdom and ability. We look forward to his performance and wish him to make his own contribution and history to the progress and prosperity of Chinese football in this important position."
