1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 13th news According to Beijing Youth Sports, because the national football team did not advance to the fourth stage of the World Cup, the Chinese Football Association unilaterally terminated its cooperation with Ivan coaching team (foreign). The Chinese men’s football team will be led by the new coach next month’s East Asian Cup.
Beijing Youth Sports also stated that in the final match of the quarterfinals and post-Basketball press conference, Ivan avoided talking about his personal future work plan, but made some prospects for the next East Asian Cup, which made people wonder that he may still continue to coach the Chinese team.
However, at that time, the Chinese Football Association had made up their minds to do things according to the contract, that is, to change coaches. However, due to factors such as relevant work procedures and the process of finding new coaches, the Football Association also needed to announce specific decisions at the right time.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Ivankovic appeared at the office of the Chinese Football Association. Since he plans to return to Croatia this weekend, he appears at the Football Association on the last working day of this week and needs to communicate with the Football Association about the termination.
Because the contract signed by the two parties at that time has clear task indicators for the team-leading performance of this World Cup qualifier, including the top 18 games, So when the national football team fails to advance to the Asian play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers, the Football Association can terminate the cooperation with Ivan team for free, and the two parties do not have any differences on the issue of fulfilling and termination of the contract. The rumors that “Ivan wants to make a penalty for liquidated damages” are self-defeating.
Will Ivankovic, 71, find a new owner after finishing his 1-year and 3-month coaching in the Chinese men’s football team? It is understood that after entering 2025, he has received invitations from clubs or Football Associations from Iran, Iraq, Russia, Croatia, Saudi Arabia and other countries, and he has no worries about not being able to find a new job.
In fact, the Football Association will receive offers from many coaches, especially foreign coaches, when the national football team has changed coaches all the time. However, after the repeated defeats of the national football team, the top priority of the Chinese Football Association is to choose a new coach who can lead the national football team out of the predicament and bring the team on the right track. It is precisely because the coach selection requires strict compliance with procedures, so it is not ruled out that the national football team will temporarily take over the East Asian Cup with a temporary coaching team. But no matter what, the national football team will usher in a new development cycle. Will the team bottom out and rebound, or fall below the “lower limit”? The results of this rotation will play a key role.
