According to Serbian media Espreso, the Chinese Football Association has fired national football coach Jankovic and will make an official announcement soon. According to reports, the Football Association has issued a notice of dismissal to Jankovic, which will be announced soon. And Jankovic has returned to Serbia.
Jankovic is arguably the worst head coach in the history of Chinese football. Since taking charge in July 2022, Jankovic has led the team to 18 matches, with a record of 5 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses. In the three games of the Asian Cup, there were no goals and no wins, which was also the first time in the history of the Asian Cup that the Chinese team did not score.
There is no point in blaming Jankovic now. People have forgotten that Jankovic led the national Olympic team to achieve good results, and it was also this way of playing, that is, insisting on defensive counterattacks. He has a very famous point of view, that is, the current Chinese team, in the face of Asian powerhouses, the only way is to practice physical fitness and play defensive counterattacks. It's just that in this Asian Cup, he used defensive counterattacks on every opponent, and he did not concede goals or fewer goals, but he did not score any goals. That's his style and characteristic, and the result should have been expected when he was chosen as manager.
It's just that Chinese football is back to the starting point. It is necessary to start a new round of the cycle of changing coaches, training camps, losing, and changing coaches. has been constantly tossing, and Chinese football has been declining all the way in the toss. I hope that this time we can grasp the fundamentals, the change of coach is not the key issue, there is a clear goal.
