Interest in the Chinese national team's coach position is hot.
China's Sohu reported on the 21st (Korea time) that more than 40 people applied for the position of coach of 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 these strict standards and the poor performance of the Chinese national team, 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.
