Is there no way out of Chinese soccer, where the crisis began. All the rumors so far seem to have been nothing more than rumors.
Citing another Chinese media outlet, the Beijing Youth Daily, on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), China's Wang Yi Media quoted 'China's new national team coach has not officially begun yet. The appointment of the new technical director of the Chinese Football Association has not been completed, and the opponent for the warm-up match has not been decided. The reorganization of the national team is facing many difficulties, he said, adding that China is in a difficult situation.
The media continued 'Until now, the process of appointing a new coach for the national team has not been officially initiated. This means that there is a possibility that the position of the national team coach will remain vacant even before the A-match period in September. Reportedly, the China Football Association should appoint a technical director with comprehensive conditions first prior to the appointment of a coach at an internal meeting' has suggested a direction' and analyzed that China may not be able to complete the appointment of a director until September.
China's national soccer team has been going through a crash since the second half of 2023. Although there was an image of Korea and Japan at the time, China was evaluated as superior to Southeast Asian countries. From 2024, as Southeast Asian countries quickly strengthened their power through naturalization policies, China began to be increasingly pursued.

China, which remained in the late 70s of the FIFA rankings in the second half of 2023, has now fallen to 94th. Not only the FIFA ranking but also the World Cup, which 1.4 billion Chinese fans had been looking forward to, was eliminated in the third qualifying round. Rumors of a crisis are continuing as the Chinese league itself is said to be low.
In order to deal with the difficult atmosphere, the appointment of the Chinese national team coach must be done quickly, but in reality, it seems to be difficult. China's national team is empty after sending coach Branko Ivankovic out for failing to qualify for the World Cup. Dejan Djurjevic, the coach of the under-20 national team, has been appointed as the head coach of Imsa, but nothing has changed at all.
The Chinese Football Association seems to have made a plan to appoint a technical director to take a direction due to repeated failures in the appointment of a coach. The plan seems to be heading in the right direction, but no one wants to go to China, so it's running into real problems.

It seems that he has dreamed of re-recruiting Chris Van Puybelde, who served as the technical director of the Chinese Football Association from 2019 to 2022, from the Moroccan Football Association, but it is highly likely that the Moroccan Football Association will not release Van Puybelde. Finding a director is also difficult because it is difficult to appoint a technical director.
Fabio Cannavaro and Juan Carlos Osorio are mentioned, including Paulo Bento, the longest-serving head coach in Korea, Choi Kang-hee, Shandong Taishan, Shin Tae-yong, former Indonesian coach, and Seo Jung-won, Chengdu Rongcheng, but there are only rumors and there seems to be no progressive plans in the current atmosphere. China is believed to have given up even calling up the national team during the A-match period in September because there is no coach and no suitable opponent.
