Recently, the Chinese Football Association announced the launch of the recruitment of the new national football coach. According to media reports, former Guangzhou Evergrande coach and Italian legendary star Fabio Cannavaro has officially signed up for the competition for the new coach of the national football team and submitted application materials to the Football Association, which sparked heated debate. You should know that the Chinese Football Association officially released an announcement on September 5 to select the head coach of the national football team. Cannavaro's quick submission of application materials has to sigh that Coach Cannavaro is really hungry for a long time!
Canavaro, the coach of Evergrande
First-class players may not necessarily become coaches with outstanding abilities after retirement. The above examples are countless in the world football world, and Cannavaro is one of them. Although Coach Kahlis has accumulated rich experience in the competition in his age as a player and was awarded the 2006 World Footballer, and has a deep understanding of the construction of the defensive system, his performance in the position of coach is not outstanding. In China, he coached Tianjin Quanjian and Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League. During his time in Quanjian, Tianjin, the winning rate of nearly 60% was impressive. However, his coaching experience at Guangzhou Evergrande was not particularly successful. Guangzhou Evergrande Dynasty lost the championship for the first time when he was in the position of Coach Can, and he did not show convincing performance in the AFC Champions League. During his coaching of the national football team with the executive coach in 2019, he led the team to lose to Uzbekistan and Thailand in the Chinese Cup, leaving sadly with 0 wins and 2 losses. Since then, he has coached clubs such as Riyadh Victory, Benevento, Udinese and Dynamo Zagreb, but the time is short and he has not achieved convincing results.
It was also the most successful year to lead Guangzhou Evergrande to win the championship in 2019
As the head coach, Cannavaro has his advantage and has first-class emotional intelligence. Just like the big brother of a player, he can get along with the players and the media and effectively control the locker room. However, football is not all about human nature. Coach Kah's current coaching report card lacks persuasion and lacks experience in successfully leading the team independently. At the same time, he has too many acquaintances in the Chinese football circle. Whether he will be affected is also a point worth paying attention to.
Objectively speaking, the problems of Chinese football are now hard to recover. No matter who is going to be the head coach, it will be difficult to solve the fundamental problems of Chinese football. However, hiring Cannavaro is because he is interested in his local coach's level and human nature, and the salary of foreign coaches? Or what to do?
