In fact, Huang Bowen has made a "seamless transition" from being a professional player to becoming a trainer for the National Youth Football Team, thanks to the "benefits" created by the Chinese Football Association (CFA). -The CFA creates a practice stage for outstanding retired players, specifically allowing them to join national teams at all levels and motivating them to participate in coaching certification programs at all levels in due course. As Huang Bowen joins the team, former international player Yang Zhi, former Jiangsu team captain Lu Bofei, Liu Cheng, Sun Ji and Zhang Xinxin, who have been selected for the national team, are also involved in the coaching of the U19 national youth team as trainers. In addition, former international player Shao Jiayi, as a member of the executive committee, not only serves as the team leader, but also as an assistant coach, while Du Zhenyu serves as an assistant coach. Huang Bowen and Zhang Xinxin are referred to as "trainers" because they must be certified by the CFA as having A-level or higher coaching qualifications in order to coach national and Chinese Super League teams as assistant coaches or head coaches.
The recent formation of the team shows that national teams at all levels have absorbed many retired professional players, including former international players. For example, in the Qatar World Preliminary Asian 40 and the first 6 rounds of the 12 rounds, Xue Shen has been as the national men's soccer physical fitness coach to assist Li Tie, the current U19 national youth team work team, he served as a scientific research staff.

At present, the 1999-age U23 national youth team and the 2003-age U19 national youth team are respectively coached by two foreign coaches, Yankovic and Antonio, while the national men's soccer team, the 2001-age national youth team (the new national Olympic team), and the 2006-age U17 national junior team are led by three local coaches, Li Xiaopeng, Sung Yeo-dong and Yang Chen. They, like Li Tie, who left the national soccer team, are representatives of outstanding professional players and international players from different periods. Their appointment is due to both individual strength and the support of the CFA Association. In fact, some of the current domestic professional league head coach and assistant coach has also been successful in the national team coaching positions. For example, Li Jinyu, the current manager of the Chinese Super League's Wuhan team, first joined the national team as a "trainer" in 2011, when he assisted Li Xiaopeng in coaching the national women's soccer team. Now that he has been certified to coach at the professional level, he is naturally qualified to be the head coach of both national and Chinese Super League teams.
It is worth noting that, affected by the nature of the preparation task, the length of the cycle and foreign coaches and other factors, the number of former international players or outstanding retired professional players absorbed by the coaching team of different national teams varies. For example, the national men's soccer team currently recruited Gao Yao, Zhao Junzhe, Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Au Chuliang, Li Lei Lei and other six former international footballers; 2006 age group U17 national junior team by the assistant coach Ma Tsuen, goalkeeper coach Yang Jun, trainer Hu Zhaogun, and other well-known ex-professional players; 1999 age group U23 national youth team coached by a well-known ex-professional players only assistant coach Xu Jining, trainer Wan Houliang two people; 2001 age group U21 national youth team (U21 national youth team), the coaching staff, the coaching staff and the coaching staff; 2001 age group U21 national youth team (U21 national youth team). Age group U21 national youth team (the new national Olympic team) coaching well-known former professional players only former international footballer Wang Yun a person.

The CFA will arrange for outstanding former international players and former professional players to join the national coaching team at all levels, on the one hand, in order to allow them to teach the valuable experience accumulated during the player era to young players, on the other hand, it is also hoped that they will grow up quickly in the coaching position, while learning theoretical knowledge, while accumulating practical experience, in order to prepare for the future to become the protagonist of the coaching stage in the domestic football world. Insiders believe that in order to achieve the optimization of human resources in the CFFC, it is necessary to start from the player selection, faculty enhancement and other aspects. This talent development model pursues a win-win result for all parties.
