Harvill's coaching ability questioned, Shanghai Harbour's managerial position may be in flux
Tonight's reporter Shen Wei reveals that the public is beginning to have doubts about Javier's coaching ability, and the Shanghai Harbor team may face a change in their head coaching position. If the harbor team is determined to change the seal of command, Xie Hui is undoubtedly an ideal alternative.
Although Javier led Shanghai Seaport to the Super League title in the 2023 season, his coaching results were not fully up to par. In particular, their defeat in the AFC Champions League play-offs exposed his coaching shortcomings. Now, whether Javier stays or goes, and which foreign or local coach will replace him, has become a hot topic of discussion among Shanghai fans.
Despite Harbour winning the Super League, Javier's position appears to be in jeopardy. Since the AFC Champions League play-off defeat to Thailand's Pathum United, there have been calls for him to step down. Harbour's original lead in the late stages of the Super League dwindled, a side effect of Javier's coaching problems.
The two giants of Shanghai Bund may be facing a change of manager after the Chinese Super League comes to an end. With Wu Jingui leading Shanghai Shenhua to the AFC Cup title, the pressure on Javier at Harbour is getting heavier. If the Seaports do plan to change their manager, former Dalian coach Xie Hui may be a suitable candidate. He knows his old team like the back of his hand, so there is no need for him to worry about adapting.
