Legendary Jungz, who was the coach of the Chinese national team, has resigned from his coach position.
China's Sohu reported on the 1st (Korea time) that the reason for Zhengzi's departure from the team was revealed after the announcement of the Chinese national team's East Asian Cup roster.
Sohu said 'Dejan Djurjevic's plan is in line with that of the Chinese Football Association. The goal is to make the team consist of young players and prepare for the 2030 World Cup qualifiers. The coaching staff has also made very big changes. China's national team's head coaches, Zheng Zhi and Chen Ta-o, were both excluded from the list. Wan Hu Liang replaced the position. Both Zhengzi and Chen Tao left China's representative Tam. At least under Djurjevic, the two will not serve as national team coaches.'"

On the 30th, the Chinese Football Association announced the list of 26 players to compete in the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Football Championship (hereinafter referred to as the East Asian Cup) under Djurjevic. This is the first official tournament since former Chinese national team coach Branko Ivankovic was replaced by Jurjevic, who was previously the coach of China's U-20 (under 20) national team, instead of an official coach. Coach Djurzewicz predicted that he would participate in the East Asian Cup with a younger squad, including the players he coached at U-20.
There have also been changes in the coaching staff. Jungz and Chen Tao left the national team. Among them, Zheng Zhi is a legend in China who was also mentioned as a candidate for the Chinese national team's interim coach. The Chinese Football Association appointed Djurjevic as acting coach instead of Zhengzi.
The reason why the Chinese Football Association chose Djurjevic over Zhengzi was by far the difference in ability. Sohu said 'Jungs was the most elegant, but out of the blue, Djurjevic took over as the director. Why is that? Rumors mentioning Zhengzi or Chen Tao were actually close to a poll. Jungs can attract some people, but they can hardly come up with technical and tactical parts. If you lose in the end, you can't meet the audience's expectations, he said.

Jungz, who has been completely excluded from Djurjevic's system, may return to the national team following the appointment of the next coach, but if Djurjevic is converted to an official coach, it will not be easy to return to the Chinese national team.
Sohu said 'The original plan was for Zhengzi and Chen Tao to help coach Djurzevic. However, Djurzewicz asked the KFA to replace his head coach. After the review, the association appointed Heo Woo-ryang to respect the director's opinion. Djurjevic made a ruthless decision to Zhengz, which on the one hand shows that Djurjevic is serious about things.
