After class, Jankovic spoke for the first time: I have cultivated a generation!

After being eliminated from the Asian Cup with a humiliating record of 3 games without wins and 0 goals, the Chinese Football Association announced that Jankovic would leave the team after his contract expired. In an interview with Serbian media, Jankovic said that "we have groomed a generation".

"Gone are the days when I spent six years in China, signed three contracts, worked in an unfamiliar environment," Jankovic said. ”

In September 2018, Jankovic was appointed coach of the U19 national football team, and in January 2019, he was appointed as the coach of the U20 national football team. In March 2022, Jankovic led the U23 national football team to the Dubai Cup, and in February 2023, he became the coach of the national football team. From the national youth team to the national football team, Jankovic has coached national football teams at all levels in six years, but the results are not ideal.

When asked about the results of coaching in China, Jankovic said, "In such an environment, we have developed a generation. In my opinion, they will be the backbone of the Chinese national team for the next 10-15 years. That's what I'm proud of my work for. ”

From the perspective of age, the players of the national Olympic team coached by Jankovic will indeed take over, and the players who will play in the Dubai Cup include Wu Shaojiao, Xu Haofeng, Dili Yimiti-Land, Liu Zhurun, Tao Qianglong, Fang Hao and other players.
