After the fiasco of the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's football team is about to usher in a new head coach, and the current highest voice is Chen Wanting, the head coach of the Chinese women's U16 team, and the former international Zhao Junzhe, the leader of the Guangzhou City team, no matter who it is in the end, the controversial Jia Xiuquan has become the past. It is reported that the new head coach will be officially announced in the near future, and her (his) first task is to lead the team to the Asian Cup.

The new coach faces a choice between the two

After leading the team to the Tokyo Olympics, Jia Xiuquan's contract with the Chinese women's football team officially expired. Although the Chinese Football Association did not explicitly announce jia Xiuquan's departure, on October 8, the Chinese Football Association announced that Jia Xiuquan's era was over.

After the application conditions were determined, a total of 6 people signed up for the competition. In addition to the former Jiangda women's football team Liu Lin did not have the opportunity to participate in the competition because a condition did not meet the requirements, including Chen Wanting and Zhao Junzhe, as well as Shaanxi women's football coach Liu Huana, former Chinese women's football coach Zhang Haitao, and Chinese women's football U20 team head coach Wang Jun accepted the interview and assessment of the selection expert group from October 15 to 16. According to the requirements, the 5 candidates made statements on the concept and goal of leading the team, and accepted questions from the expert group, among which Liu Huana, who was in the event, was assessed by remote video. It is reported that Zhao Junzhe scored the highest score in the interview session, but Chen Wanting also has a fairly strong competitiveness.

The Asian Cup became the first trial

At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's football team handed over a dismal report card. In the group stage, they only scored 1 point after losing two and drawing, conceded 17 goals in three games, and bid farewell to the Tokyo Olympics in advance.
