There has been a claim that Jesus Casas has emerged as a candidate for the Chinese national soccer team.
China's Sohu reported on the 30th (Korea time) that Casas, who played for the Iraqi national team, can take over the Chinese national team.
The Chinese national team has recently begun to appoint a new coach. China replaced coach Branko Ivankovic after the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. He was held accountable for his frustration with the World Cup, and Ivankovic had to leave. China has had to move forward again with the goal of the 2030 World Cup, so it is preoccupied with the appointment of a new coach.

Until the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup), acting coach Djurjevic led the national team, but it has become difficult to expect official promotion due to poor performance at the tournament. In the end, China is expected to consider several candidates for the appointment of a new director again.
The Chinese national team, which has suffered from poor performance since the appointment of the coach, has set strict conditions for the new coach candidates. The Chinese Football Association has four conditions. The first is young age, and the second is the director's philosophy and success experience. Third, I want to experience Asian soccer. Lastly, it is hoped that the entire coaching team's annual salary will not exceed 2 million euros based on strict salary standards.
Considering the poor performance of the Chinese national team along with strict standards, it was not natural to predict that there would be many applicants. However, contrary to expectations, the popularity of the Chinese national team is hot. Famous directors such as Fabio Cannavaro and Roger Schmidt also seem to have applied. Along with the enthusiasm, strict evaluations are also emerging. Recently, some even pointed out that Paulo Bento, who was mentioned as a candidate, should have a normal history.

In this situation, a new leading candidate has emerged. It's Jesus Casas. Sohu said 'Cassas had an outstanding career as a bile dog, but it was relatively less well known. Joining Barcelona as a match analyst in 2010 and starting his leadership career?? He won the Gulf Cup for the Iraqi national team. Casas, who is currently unemployed, is in the interest of the Chinese Football Association and has met the selection criteria for coaches. 'No news has been confirmed yet, but we cannot underestimate the possibility towards him.'"
Casas started as a CF youth coach in 2003 and has built various leadership careers including Ballon de Cadis, FC Barcelona, Watford FC, Spain's national team, and Iraq's national team. In particular, when he was the head coach of the Spanish national team, he worked for Luis Enrique, a master who achieved the treble. It was once mentioned as a candidate for the Korean national team, but it failed. Attention is also focusing on whether Casas will be able to make a turnaround in Chinese soccer by taking over as the coach of the Chinese national team.
