As the change of coach of the Chinese national football team progressed, Ivankovic became the focus of one of the many candidates. The coach, who has just stepped down from the Oman team, is reported to have asked the Chinese Football Association for an annual salary of $1.5 million, which is not only far more than his salary in the Oman team, but also higher than that of former national football coach Jankovic, which has aroused widespread attention and discussion.
In the context of the Chinese Football Association began to prepare for the change of coach of the national football team, many foreign coaches with experience in Asian football or Chinese football have become candidates. Ivankovic, with his coaching experience in Iran, Qatar and Oman, as well as his remarkable football philosophy and achievements, is a natural target for the Football Association. According to reports, Ivankovic has great interest in coaching the Chinese team and is full of confidence that he has the ability to lead the national football team to make a breakthrough in the future world preliminaries.
Previously, Ivankovic had just stepped down from the Oman team, although Ivankovic's annual salary in the Oman team was not publicly reported by the media, but according to a public message from Ivankovic during the epidemic, he took the initiative to apply to the Oman Football Association for a salary cut of 61% during the epidemic, and only received 7,000 Omani riyals per month, equivalent to 130,000 yuan, according to the conversion, Ivankovic's annual salary in Oman at that time should be 4 million yuan, equivalent to 550,000 US dollars.
Now, according to media reports, he has made an offer of $1.5 million in annual salary to the Football Association, and it is clear that he has increased his price by $950,000. Jankovic's previous annual salary for coaching the national football team was as high as 1.2 million euros, and Ivankovic's fame and Asian football experience surpassed Jankovic's, plus it takes courage to coach the current national football team, which may be the reason why his asking price has risen sharply.
The price increase is undoubtedly based on his confidence in his own abilities, as well as the challenging and risky nature of the role of coaching the Chinese national team, and also reflects his positioning for his seniority and fame in Asian football. It remains to be seen whether Ivankovic can become the helm of the national football team, but his offer has undoubtedly added more highlights to the competition for the national football coach.
