China's Sohu Dotcom said on the 21st (Korean time) "With Chinese soccer going through a period of stagnation, the criteria for the appointment of the next head coach of the national team are in the spotlight."The current standard is a young, competent European coach. Against this backdrop, Fabio Cannavaro, who had a deep relationship with Chinese soccer in the past, is emerging."
Cannavaro has led the Chinese Super League several times and has a brilliant career as a Ballon d'Or winner and captain of the World Cup-winning team. His extensive teaching experience in China also raises expectations for him.
"Cannabarro's ability to create a team in a barren environment was well received, but at the same time, controversy ensued," the media said. "He offered new hope for Chinese soccer by winning various trophies, but whether he can overcome the current crisis in the national team is still a hot topic of debate among fans."

The media said "Of course, the responsibility is not solely for the director. We don't know who will eventually take the helm, but what matters is whether the association can focus on its true skills and suitability, away from mere standards.'"This is the biggest test Chinese football has ever faced, and that decision will determine the future of the national team. Whether it will be another fall or a chance for revival depends on the choice," he said.
Meanwhile, China will not be able to play in the World Cup next year either. The team barely managed to escape the bottom of Group C in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup North-China. He was at the center of criticism, failing to advance to the finals due to poor performance all the time.
