On December 22nd, there was a sudden change in the wind and clouds! Shanghai Jiading Huilong Club's head coach Yang Lin suddenly announced his departure, and Liaoning coach Duan Xin became the favorite to succeed him. Reporter Pei Li revealed that the new coach will arrive in Shanghai soon, signaling that the team will usher in a new change.
Pei Li excitedly previewed on his microblog, "Duan Xin, the famous player who had made a name for himself in the Liaoning soccer world, is about to become the leader of Jiading Huilong. His arrival has undoubtedly injected youthful vigor into the team." Duan Xin is known for his training of young players, and it is expected that Jiading Huilong will be revitalized under Duan Xin's leadership in the new season.
Looking back at the 2024 season, Shanghai Jiading Huilong had an uneventful run in the Central League, winning 5, drawing 16, and losing 9 to finish in 11th place.
It is worth mentioning that Duan Xin had been banned for eight months and fined 150,000 yuan by Liaoning Shenyang City in August 2023 for misconduct. However, in May 2024, Heilongjiang Bingcheng Football Club announced his return to lead the team again. During Duan Xin's tenure at Heilongjiang Bingcheng from 2017 to 2021, he led the team in 147 matches with a record of 61 wins, 53 draws and 33 losses, scoring a whopping 204 goals.
