On September 21st, according to Xiao Nan, a reporter from Beiqing Sports, the head coach of the national team, Ivankovic, was spotted at the venue for tonight’s 26th round of the Chinese Super League match between Shandong Taishan and Wuhan Sancheng.
The reporter stated that this means Ivankovic’s retention as the head coach of the national team is confirmed. Following the temporary settlement of the “national team coaching change controversy,” both domestic and foreign members of the national team coaching staff have resumed their respective duties, preparing for potential improvements in tactics and adjustments to the player roster.
After the national team suffered consecutive losses in the first two rounds of the 18-team competition, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) once considered changing the coach. However, due to various objective factors, no actual change has taken place up until now. Although the CFA has not publicly addressed whether Ivankovic would remain as the head coach, his unexpected appearance at Jinan Olympic Sports Center for the match between Taishan and Sancheng on the evening of the 21st effectively announced that the “national team coaching change controversy” has been temporarily settled. This confirms that Ivankovic will continue to lead the team in the two World Cup qualifier matches scheduled for October.
