1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 15th News In the early morning of yesterday, 71-year-old Ivankovic set out on a flight back to Croatia, and he will no longer serve as the head coach of the national football team. According to Tianjin Daily, since there are only 3 weeks left before the East Asian Cup, the Chinese national football team is likely to lead the team to the East Asian Cup by a temporary coaching team.
After leading the team to the quarterfinals, Ivankovic plans to return to Croatia this weekend to rest, and then return to China in early July to prepare for the East Asian Cup. However, the Chinese Football Association finally made a decision to change coaches. During the meeting between the two sides on the afternoon of the 13th, Ivankovic was informed of the decision. Afterwards, the old coach decided to change his itinerary and boarded a flight back to China early yesterday morning. This fare means that Ivankovic’s work in coaching the Chinese men’s football team has come to an insane end.
Next, the Chinese Football Association will start the selection process for the new head coach of the Chinese men’s football team. Since the East Asian Cup will be held in South Korea in three weeks, the most concerned thing about the outside world is that the new coach can be determined as soon as possible. According to the progress of the coach selection work in the past, the Chinese men’s football team is likely to be led by a temporary coaching team to compete in the East Asian Cup.
