Ivan is not for money, just for the sake of his name! If the group does not qualify, he will be dismissed, and the Football Association will not let go of power! Zheng Zhi and Shao Jia will stay in the team to assist
Fans understand that Jankovic is not qualified to be the head coach of a national team, regardless of his fame or coaching experience, even if it is a Chinese team with a low level. Being pushed to the position of national football coach is nothing more than a transition in the special period of Chinese football. Therefore, Jankovic's dismissal from class was not unexpected, but much later than the fans expected. The Football Association transferred Jankovic to the national team from the national youth team, smashing his job in China.
One "Vicky" walked, another "Vicky" came. Ivankovic can take over the national football team for three reasons: First, he coached the Shandong Luneng team in 2010 and is familiar with Chinese football. Second, he coached the Oman national team for 4 years and led this traditional Asian weak team to become one of the second-rate teams in Asia. The annual salary is similar to Jankovic, which is in line with the psychological expectations of the Chinese Football Association. From Ivankovic's point of view, not for money, just for fame!
Of course, Ivankovic also has an objective condition that is not as good as Jankovic, that is, he is older. Due to the procrastination of the Chinese Football Association's change of coach, after Ivankovic took over the national football team, the work became more intense. Restore the confidence of the national football team, select international players, develop new tactics, study opponents, run in the lineup, and control the dressing room. Everything has to start from scratch. Ivankovic must lead the national football team to the round of 36 and reach the round of 18, which is a hard indicator.
On February 25, the Super Cup "Shanghai Derby", due to the large number of international players of the two teams, Jankovic needed to visit the players in person, and he had to return to Croatia that night to implement the renewal of visas to China. At the beginning of March, he returned to China to inspect the players in the Chinese Super League. According to "Beiqing Sports", the details of the cooperation between Ivankovic and the Chinese Football Association have been finalized. It is reported that the two sides signed a long-term contract of no less than 3 years, and the contract period is until the end of the 2027 Asian Cup.
There are detailed and strict "restrictive clauses" in the contract, and Ivan's coaching team must complete the team leadership indicators at each stage as agreed. The primary goal is to lead the team to the round of 18 of the 2026 World Preliminary Championships. Otherwise, the Chinese Football Association has the right to unilaterally terminate the cooperation. Due to the very limited time, "it is impossible for Ivankovic to complete the inspection of all the players independently, and the new national football training squad is largely recommended by the Chinese coaching team, which may not be very different from the Asian Cup." ”
It is reported that Ivankovic's coaching team has four foreign assistants, namely the first assistant coach, a physical coach, a goalkeeper coach and a technical and tactical analyst. Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi and other members of the Chinese coaching team are likely to stay in the team, and they will continue to assist the head coach to familiarize himself with the team and candidate internationals. The Chinese Football Association invited a football translator, Zhang Yu, who served as the translator for former Shenhua coach Blazevic. I hope Ivan will lead the national football team to the World Cup!
