Ivan will be dismissed from class in 108 days at the earliest! If he does not enter the round of 18 or terminate the contract, the Football Association will not pay liquidated damages
On Saturday, the Chinese Football Association announced Ivankovic as the coach of the national football team. Ma Dexing, a well-known journalist, revealed that if the national football team cannot advance to the round of 18, the Chinese Football Association can terminate the contract with Ivankovic in advance without paying liquidated damages.
After the national football team stopped in the group stage of the Asian Cup, some media revealed that the contract signed by the Chinese Football Association and Jankovic had a performance clause, and if it could not qualify for the knockout round of the Asian Cup, the contract would be automatically terminated.
Indeed, the Chinese Football Association said in the announcement, "Since the Chinese national men's football team failed to qualify for the knockout stage of the Asian Cup, the coaching contract of the head coach and coaching team has been automatically terminated according to the agreement." ”
With such experience, the Chinese Football Association also added a similar clause when signing Ivankovic. Despite the recent poor performance of the national football team, entering the round of 18 is still the bottom line, and Ivankovic's agent even said when contacting the Chinese Football Association, "I have the confidence and certainty to lead the Chinese team to the 2026 World Cup!"
The Chinese Football Association will enter the round of 18 as the bottom line, and Ivankovic is confident that the national football team will be brought into the World Cup, so the two sides have added a performance clause to the contract.
Ma Dexing revealed, "The Chinese Football Association has clear phased KPI assessment indicators in the contract, for example, in the round of 36, the Chinese team must qualify for the group and advance to the top 18. If you can't qualify from the group, the Chinese Football Association has the right to terminate the contract early and no need to pay liquidated damages. To this, Ivan fully accepted such conditions. ”
Despite Ivankovic's confidence, after a month in charge, Ivankovic will lead his side away to Singapore, before meeting at home five days later. Only by winning these two games will the national football team lay the foundation for qualifying.
The real test for Ivankovic and the national football team will be at home to Thailand on June 6. Thailand have had a makeover at the Asian Cup after the change of manager, and if they lose at home, Ivankovic could even be removed after the match against South Korea on June 11.
Media person Xu Zexin analyzed, "Ivan's class is destined to be just a countdown to the next class, and the only uncertainty is the length of time." Good results continue to live a little longer, otherwise you can only roll away. ”
