The Chinese professional football club Qingdao FC has hired a new head coach, despite the team's relegation worries. The new coach is Guoan, who previously worked as the head coach for the China national football team.
The news comes after Qingdao FC suffered their first defeat in the league this season and fell to the bottom of the table. With relegation looming, many fans and analysts were worried about the team's future under their current coaching staff.
However, with Guoan's appointment, the team hopes to turn things around and secure a place in the top flight next season. Guoan, who was born in Tianjin, played for several clubs before joining the Chinese national team in 2016.
In his first press conference as Qingdao FC's new head coach, Guoan said that he was excited to take on the challenge and lead the team towards success. He also praised the players for their hard work and commitment, saying that they had shown great potential during training sessions.
While the team faces significant challenges ahead, Guoan's appointment could be a turning point for Qingdao FC. With a new coach at the helm, the team can focus on improving their performance and rebuilding their reputation in the league.
