Qingdao Football Club (QFC) has announced the appointment of a new coach for their upcoming season, with a view to fighting for promotion in China's top football league, the Chinese Super League.
The club has been under pressure to improve its results this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing economic downturn. QFC's previous manager, Liu Jun, had led them to a disappointing finish last season, which included relegation from the Chinese Super League.
The new coach will take over from Liu Jun, who is currently the head coach of Shanghai Shenhua SC in the Chinese Super League. He will be supported by experienced players such as Guo Wenbin, who was part of the Shanghai Shenhua SC squad that won the 2018 AFC Champions League, and Wang Zhenliang, who played for Guangzhou Evergrande SC in the Chinese Super League.
Qingdao FC has made several changes to their coaching staff in recent weeks, including bringing in former Chinese Premier League player Zhang Zhe, who is known for his tactical skills and ability to work well with younger players.
The new coach has promised to bring stability and discipline to the team, and he believes that the club can compete at a high level this season. However, it remains to be seen whether the team can overcome the challenges they face ahead of the season and reach their goals.
In conclusion, Qingdao FC's new coach, who has already made some impressive signings, aims to bring stability and discipline to the team, but the club will need to prove themselves on the field to achieve success.
