recently, as the chinese national football team suffered two consecutive defeats at the start of the world cup asian qualifiers, both the result and the process were disappointing. the media and chinese fans madly bombarded head coach ivankovic, believing that he should resign.

but at present, although the change of coach is a hot topic among the media and chinese fans, the chinese football association has not yet announced a clear news of the change of coach. chinese fans who may hope for a change of coach may wishfully say that it is the mid-autumn festival holiday, so the chinese football association did not have time to change the coach. but you have to know that there is less than a month before the next world cup qualifying match. if the coach is not changed at this time, then there is really no time. so from the reality, the chinese football association is no longer a must for the chinese football association to change the coach of the national football team, especially at this special time node.

if the chinese football association wants to get ivankovic fired, the first thing it has to face is the contract issue. there are two versions of ivankovic's contract in the chinese media. the first version is that ivankovic's contract has automatically been extended to the end of the asian qualifiers for the world cup after the chinese national team advanced to the top 18. during this period, no matter how bad ivankovic's performance as the chinese national team is, there are only two possibilities for ivankovic to be fired. one is that he resigns voluntarily, or the chinese football association pays ivankovic's full salary during the contract period and then lets him go.

after the chinese national football team suffered two consecutive defeats in the top 18 matches, chinese media, including shanghai media, gave another explanation of ivankovic's contract. that is, ivankovic's contract requires an assessment every two rounds in the top 18 matches. if the assessment is not qualified, the chinese football association can let ivankovic leave directly.

but now, it is more likely that ivankovic's contract is the first one, or the clause added by the chinese football association in the contract that requires assessment every two rounds is actually an invalid clause in fifa and the international court of arbitration for sport. although ivankovic is a little confused in the field of professional football, he still has an agent team after all, and he is not really suffering from alzheimer's disease. don't blame ivankovic for being shameless. professional football all over the world is like this. respect contracts and rules. if you are tricked, you can only blame yourself for being too amateur or having a ghost inside. in the field of professional football, most people will not go against money. don't expect all foreign coaches to be as upright as lippi, who will resign voluntarily and not even ask for a high salary.

even if the chinese football association can really resolve the contract issue with ivankovic, who will be the head coach of the national football team is still a big problem, because the chinese football association can only choose a temporary head coach for the national football team. in this case, there is still great uncertainty in the future. for example, if the national football team suffers a disastrous defeat in the games against australia and indonesia in october, what should be done? moreover, the issue of changing the head coach affects the entire system, and it is no longer something that the chinese football association can completely decide at this level. it must be reported and approved before it can be carried out.

according to statistics, in the past 15 years, the chinese national football team has had a total of 10 head coaches or interim head coaches. the official head coaches include local coaches gao hongbo, li tie and li xiaopeng, foreign coaches camacho, perrin, lippi, jankovic and ivankovic, and fu bo and cannavaro have served as interim head coaches. among them, gao hongbo and lippi have coached twice, that is to say, in the past 15 years, the chinese national football team has changed coaches 12 times, including 3 times in the last 3 years, namely li xiaopeng, jankovic and ivankovic. such frequent changes of coaches have not brought substantial improvement to the performance of the chinese national football team, so many media and chinese fans have long been completely numb to the possible change of coaches.
