Beijing Guoan Club has delivered a satisfying year-end summary to its fans, starting with the departure of last season's heavily criticized head coach Suarez. After careful consideration, they have chosen the Spanish coach Quique Setien, known for his attacking football style, to lead the coaching team. Setien's joining makes him the most prominent head coach in the Chinese Super League (CSL), with his experience coaching Barcelona and other famous clubs, giving Beijing fans endless expectations.
In terms of players, the club has renewed contracts with three veterans Zhang Xizhe, Wang Gang, and Chi Zhongguo, showing the players the care of the club. Another meritorious captain Yu Dabao has transitioned to become a coach at the Guoan Youth Training Academy, which can be considered a proper arrangement for this meritorious captain. The outstanding player Cao Yongjing, who is in his prime, has received a top salary contract for four years, which is also the greatest recognition for this newly promoted national team member. Additionally, Bai Yang and Nabi Jiang have also successfully renewed their contracts. Confirmed departing players Mamadou, Zhang Chengdong, and Li Ke may still appear on the CSL stage next year, as changing the environment is their final choice.
Newcomer Serginho has confirmed his naturalization and joining, and Wu Shaocong is also very close to joining Beijing Guoan. It is reported that negotiations are underway for a powerful defensive midfielder. With strong troops and horses, Beijing Zhonghe Guoan Club's goal of always striving for first place next season may be achieved!
