In the 2024 season, the Chinese Super League will be carried out to the 6th round, from the overall performance, most of the strong teams have played relatively well, but there are also individual teams that have suffered a "Waterloo", Yatai is among them, only 1 win in the first 6 rounds, and the rest are all defeated, currently only 3 points, ranking first from the bottom. Obviously, this result is completely inconsistent with the club's expectations, and even the worst start since the establishment of Yatai, coach Chen Yang's coaching ability has been criticized by the outside world, however, because Chen Yang has been coaching in Yatai for a long time, so the club has always trusted him, but the results are really unable to explain, and the two sides finally parted ways.
What is embarrassing is that after Chen Yang left the handsome position, only Yu Genwei and Zhao Junzhe were left in the Chinese Super League, and the proportion of foreign handsome is expected to further increase. Of course, there is also news that Yatai will continue to hire domestic coaches, and this news has also been confirmed. Just after Chen Yang got out of class, Yatai also quickly announced the results, and sure enough, Yatai continued to use local coaches, and Xie Hui, who had led the Dalian team to create a relegation miracle, returned again and became the new coach of Yatai, leading the team to compete in the remaining games and cups of the 2024 season. Yatai also became the first Chinese Super League club to change coaches in the 2024 season.
It should be said that although Xie Hui is not experienced in coaching the Chinese Super League, but he left a deep impression on the outside world, before leading the "all-Chinese class" Dalian team played an excellent offensive football, maximizing the characteristics of the team, Xie Hui is also known as the magic coach, but then the Dalian team introduced several foreign aids, but the results declined, but also in the last season relegated helplessly, and finally ended up disbanding, Xie Hui had to leave the position, re-choose a career.
Of course, Director Xie was not in a hurry, but chose to observe and wait for the right opportunity, and this time holding hands with Yatai is also an affirmation of his past coaching achievements. It should be said that when he was a player, Xie Hui was a leader in China, not only a frequent member of the national team, but also hit 7 goals in the 2022 World Preliminaries, becoming the top scorer of the national team, and also stayed in the German League, so the player experience is more outstanding.
Entered the coaching field in 2009 and served as an assistant coach to Villas-Boas, whose past experience laid a solid foundation for his coaching, and now only in Yatai, which is much stronger than the Dalian team, which is also a new challenge for Xie Hui, especially in the face of the trough, how to lead the team to rebound also tests the coaching ability of the 49-year-old coach.
