Some domestic media exposed the popular list of the national football team coach in advance, and there are five foreign coaches in the list, in addition to Cui Kangxi and Ivanovic and others who have been discussed by fans, and even the name of the former Guangzhou team's old coach Scolari appeared. If there is no accident, the local coach of the Chinese men's football team was basically abandoned by the Football Association in this audition, and it is impossible to be promoted to the position of coach.
Therefore, Fu Bo and Gao Hongbo, two local coaches, were basically eliminated in advance, and whether there is a chance to become the technical and tactical director of the national football team still depends on the next arrangements of the Football Association. In the case of local coaches being eliminated ahead of schedule, the Football Association should choose foreign coaches to coach the national football team, which should be the safest way now.
In addition, it is said that the Football Association invited a team of coaches to Beijing to give advice on the candidates. In this coach selection process, the Football Association also put forward a new requirement, that is, the annual salary of the new coach must meet the expectations of the Football Association. It is said that he will be on par with the head coach of the Japanese team, Mori Bao, and the annual salary will be limited to around $1 million.
Judging by this standard of the Football Association, including Scolari, Choi Kang-hee and Queiroz, etc., they have been eliminated ahead of schedule. The most suitable candidate for the Football Association should be the former Oman coach Branislav Ivanovic. In addition to Ivanovic's experience as a coach in the Chinese Super League, he is also very familiar with Asian football.
The most important point is that Ivanovic's previous annual salary in the Oman team was only 1.5 million US dollars, and he himself also took the initiative to show goodwill to the Football Association through relevant media, saying that he has the ability to help the Chinese men's football team advance to the round of 18 of the World Preliminary Tournament. Personally, I think that this time the Football Association will be very cautious in selecting the coach, and the control of the annual salary of the head coach has become an important reference standard for the selection of the coach.
Therefore, after Song Kai officially took office as the head of the Football Association, the selection of the head coach of the Chinese men's football team is more inclined to choose a high-quality and low-cost coach. Especially for some world-famous coaches, the Football Association can't give the annual salary that people want, even if they intend to give the national football team a higher configuration, they have no choice but to allow their own strength.
