The competition for the coach of the Chinese U21 national youth team has entered a white-hot stage, and three excellent coaches have become hot candidates. They are Spanish coach Juan Ignacio, Belarusian coach Haskovic, and former national youth team coach and Spanish coach Antonio. The three coaches have their own unique characteristics, a wealth of coaching experience and a strong football background, which shows the strong appeal of the Under-21 national youth team managership.
The 59-year-old has over 100 La Liga games under his belt, having coached a number of La Liga teams and has coached Chinese side Shanghai Shenxin and Meixian Tiehan. His tactical philosophy and ability to develop young players are widely recognized. In this competition, he hopes to bring his rich La Liga coaching experience to China to help the national youth team improve its level.
Another candidate is the 50-year-old Belarusian head coach Haskovich. As a former Tianjin Master Kang player, Haskovic has achieved great results in coaching positions after retiring, and has coached Dynamo Kyiv and the Belarusian national team. His coaching style focuses on discipline and teamwork, and he is good at getting the team up in a short period of time, which is one of the reasons why he is a popular candidate for the national youth team to be the manager.
In addition, former national youth coach Antonio was also invited by the Football Association to become a major candidate for the coach of the Under-21 national youth team. Antonio's tactical skills and in-depth knowledge of the players he has shown in his past coaching, especially his familiarity with the Chinese football environment, have made him a high-profile candidate in this competition. Antonio's return means that he has the opportunity to continue his unfinished business and lead the national youth team to better results.
The fierce competition for the coach of the U21 national youth team reflects the attractiveness of Chinese football in coaching positions. Despite the poor performance of Chinese football in recent years, the coaching position of the national team still attracts the attention of many famous coaches. This is not only a recognition of the potential of the Chinese football market, but also shows the confidence of the coaches in the future development of Chinese football.
