According to a report by Beijing Youth Daily reporter @Xiao Yun, the new head coach of the Chinese women's football team will most likely be a foreign coach. This news indicates that the position of local coaches in the national team is gradually being replaced by an international strategy. Although the Chinese Football Association has openly expressed an indiscriminate attitude towards the selection and recruitment of Chinese and foreign coaches, in practice, almost all candidates are foreign coaches, and this obvious change in preference is not only related to the strategy of coach selection, but also touches on the use and training of domestic coaches.
Wide selection of foreign teachers
In recent years, the Chinese Football Association has clearly preferred to use foreign coaches in the selection and recruitment of national team coaches. From the national football team to the youth teams at all levels, including the women's football team that is about to participate in international competitions, the strategy of the Football Association is to use the international experience and skills of foreign coaches to improve the overall level of the team.
In fact, from Serbian coach Djurdjevic to Japanese coach Kenichi Kazumura, it all reflects that the Football Association regards foreign coaches as an important means to enhance the international competitiveness of Chinese football. Especially after Cheng Yaodong ended his cooperation with the Chinese Football Association, the position of national team coach was once again filled by foreign coaches, highlighting the dependence of Chinese football on international coaching resources.
Selection of candidates for the women's football manager
Regarding the selection and appointment of the coach of the Chinese women's football team, although the Football Association has said that it welcomes Chinese and foreign coaches to apply, the tendency of foreign coaches in the actual selection process has been very obvious. This strategy has directly influenced the career development path of local outstanding coaches such as Chen Wanting. Although Chen Wanting has achieved remarkable results in coaching the Jiangsu women's football team, leading the team to multiple domestic championships, at the national team level, she once again missed the opportunity to become a coach.
This is not only a major setback for Chen's career, but also reflects the fact that the Chinese Football Association may rely too much on the resources of foreign coaches in the selection of coaches, and ignore the importance of cultivating and trusting local coaches.
Chen Wanting's future prospects
Although Chen Wanting was once again out of the women's football coach, her excellent performance in the Women's Super League has proven her coaching ability. Chen Wanting's Jiangsu women's football team has achieved brilliant results under her leadership, which not only shows her technical and tactical skills, but also highlights her unique position among women's football coaches.
These practical achievements should have earned her the opportunity to develop at a higher level, especially on the international stage such as the national team. In the future, Chen Wanting is still expected to realize her career dream through continuous efforts and certification, and it also provides an opportunity for the Chinese Football Association to reflect on the coach selection policy.
Comprehensive reviews and outlooks
The Chinese Football Association must take into account the long-term impact of this strategy on the development of local coaches while selecting foreign coaches. Although the introduction of high-level foreign coaching teams can improve the technical and tactical level in the short term, in the long run, a healthy football ecosystem should pay more attention to the cultivation and improvement of internal talents while absorbing external advantages. This balance is the key to the sustainable development of Chinese football in the future.
In this round of coach selection, Chen Wanting's defeat is not only her personal loss, but also an opportunity that the Chinese women's football team, and even the entire Chinese football team, may miss to develop local coaching talents. Looking ahead, the Chinese Football Association should consider the pros and cons of Chinese and foreign coaches in a more balanced manner, and truly implement an inclusive and forward-looking coach selection strategy to promote the long-term competitiveness of Chinese football on the international stage. For Chen Wanting, the future is still full of possibilities, and I hope she can continue to use her coaching talent to make greater contributions to Chinese football.
