At present, the domestic professional league has been in full swing, the club will also have an evaluation of the existing performance, especially after the winter window recruitment, the performance of the new signings also directly determines the effectiveness of the recruitment, especially the club that aims to compete for the championship, rush to overtake, and rush to B, pay more attention to the performance of the league at the beginning, such as Liaoning Iron Man in the Chinese League, although the latter was the 10th place last season, but after the reorganization of the squad during the winter training period, the club still hopes for the results of the new season, and even pays attention to the promotion.

However, after 5 rounds of battles in the Chinese League, the Liaoning team only had 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss and accumulated 5 points, ranking 11th in the league, 8 points away from the top Dalian InBev and Yunnan Kunlu, obviously, the gap is huge, in the face of the decline in performance, the club took the initiative to change, adjusted the coaching staff, and removed the team leader Duan Xin and head coach Gao Mingqi, which means that the coaching staff will be replaced, and the coach will be changed in the first 5 rounds. However, Pingguo Ha Yi is still in the process of selecting a coach, while the Liaoning team has already selected a new coach.

Just after the official announcement of Duan Xin and Gao Mingqi's dismissal, the Liaoning team quickly announced the new coach, Fan Zhiyi, a well-known coach in domestic football, not only as the head of the coaching staff, but also as the director, it can be seen that the Liaoning team has high hopes for Fan Zhiyi, and more importantly, not only the right to coach, but also the power to select and recruit, taking into account the management function. Of course, in addition to Fan Zhiyi, the Liaoning team also hired former Asian Games coach Sun Wei to form a new coaching team with Fan Zhiyi, becoming the first professional team in domestic football to complete the change of coach in the 2024 season.

After 14 years, the 55-year-old Fan Zhiyi came out again, and the last time he coached was in the 2010 season, leading East Asia. According to media insiders, although he served as the head of the coaching staff, Fan Zhiyi would not coach specifically, and the first executive coach Sun Wei actually exercised the power of the head coach to lead the team to play and formulate tactical arrangements. When it came to Sun Wei, the outside world was no stranger, when he was a player, Sun Wei was the absolute main force of the 10-time champion Liaoning team and the top scorer in the 1991 season.

After retiring, Sun Wei also served as the coach of the second division team, and then went to the National Olympic Games, assisted Liu Chunming, became the head coach of the National Olympic Games in 2010, and served as the new coach of Jiangxi Liansheng in the summer of 2015, with certain coaching experience. The addition of Fan Zhiyi will increase the attention of the Liaoning team, and at the same time, the resources of the 52-year-old legend may bring more development opportunities to the Liaoning team. In addition to the above two, Li Yingfa and Li Shubin will also be invited to serve as technical consultants.
