Turkey's dark horse candidate for the change of coach was exposed, with an annual salary of 62.2 million, Song Kai was optimistic about the famous coach, and Gao Hongbo was missing
The knockout round of the Asian Cup in Qatar continues, and there are currently four teams that have advanced to the top 8, namely Qatar, Australia, Tajikistan and Jordan. Although they have already been out of this Asian Cup, the national football team and the Football Association are not idle, because the 2026 World Preliminary Tournament will start in March, and our opponent Singapore men's football team has also made major adjustments.
The Singapore Football Association (SPA) has recently announced the termination of its partnership with coach Takayuki Nishitani, and they will announce a new head coach in due course. This shows that the Singapore men's football team, ranked 156th in the world, attaches great importance to the world preliminary tournament and the national football team, and they also have a suitable new coach in their minds. On the other hand, our Football Association is still hesitating, and there is no official announcement to fire Jankovic. The Football Association was revealed to be looking for a new coach, Song Kai is more optimistic about the selection of famous coaches, and is currently more inclined to invite foreign coaches who are familiar with Asian football and Chinese football, and must have the ability to lead the team well.
At present, media person Zhao Yu told fans that the national football team is initially inclined to coach coaches who have achieved certain results in Asia, and the current dark horse candidates include Queiroz, Sanchez and others. The Football Association was revealed to be very optimistic about the world-class coach Queiroz, who had no job for the time being, and he was fired by the Qatar Football Association last year because of the unsatisfactory results of the team. According to the football newspaper, the Football Association once found the Queiroz team, but the other party directly offered a sky-high annual salary of 8 million euros, about 62.2 million yuan. You know, Queiroz's annual salary as a coach in Qatar is only 2.5 million euros, and his monthly salary is only 500,000 euros when he led Iran earlier.
Therefore, in my personal opinion, it is not necessarily that big-name foreign coaches can lead the national football team to play well. As a simple example, Paulo Bento, who led the South Korean men's football team to a good performance in the World Cup, had a mediocre overall record after taking over the UAE men's football team, and also led the team to an upset loss to Tajikistan, which is ranked more than 100 in the world, in the Asian Cup. This shows that big-name foreign coaches may not be able to eat anywhere, they also need time to adapt to the team, if they take over in a hurry, it will backfire and create worse results.
Therefore, considering that the World Preliminary Tournament will start in more than 1 month, coupled with the shyness of the bag, the Football Association is also a little hesitant at present, and there is still an idea to find a temporary local coach to make a transition, and then look at the results of the team to decide whether to invite a foreign coach. The reporter revealed the latest news that at present, in the scope of candidates for the temporary local coach, including Fu Bo, has entered the vision of the Football Association. The reason is that Fu Bogang took over the position of technical director of the Football Association and has also become a coach lecturer of the Football Association, so he is very familiar with the national football players led by Jankovic.
So at this point, we can basically rule out Gao Hongbo. is not the most priority local coach of the Football Association, and Gao Hongbo may not be willing to take over the mess of the national football team even if he is invited. In my personal opinion, the national football team's performance has continued to regress in recent years, and even went out in the group stage of the Asian Cup, and we can't shift all the blame to the ability of the head coach.
When we recently learned that Chen Xuyuan, the former head of the Football Association, was accused of accepting bribes of 81.03 million, this truly shows that our football environment needs to be changed and optimized the most, and we must really scrape the bones to cure the poison. Chen Xuyuan was exposed during the helm of the Football Association, the starting lineup of the national football team must be reported to the leadership, some international players revealed that they refused to call up the coach, and the national football team has changed 5 head coaches in the past 4 years, which also created a new record for the frequency of coach changes of the world's teams in the same period.
Therefore, I don't think the Football Association can rush for quick success, don't always dump the coach, Jankovic is not so bad, at least he brings the national football team iron-like discipline, and attaches importance to training and body fat rate by example, and none of the players in the three group games of the national football team have cramps. If you really want to change the coach, I suggest that Song Kai don't risk spending a lot of money to sign a foreign coach, and I suggest that Song Kai and the Football Association give priority to inviting Gao Hongbo to the palace. If it weren't for the Football Association and capital intending to "make a game" to replace Gao Hongbo and invite a famous coach, I think Gao Hongbo's technical football and his kindness and practical attitude towards football, the national football team led by him has been on the right track to a large extent and has taken off.
