Guangdong Province's Guo'an Football Club recently appointed a former Premier League coach as its new head coach, signaling the club's ambition to compete at a higher level on the international stage.
The new coach is none other than Zico, who was once the manager of Brazilian giants Corinthians and also had stints in charge of clubs such as Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG. With his experience and knowledge of the game, Zico is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the team and help them improve their performance on the pitch.
Zico's appointment comes after Guo'an struggled in recent seasons, finishing in the bottom half of the Chinese Super League (CSL) table for much of last season. The club hopes that by bringing in someone like Zico, they can turn things around and return to the top tier of Chinese football.
In addition to Zico's coaching expertise, the club has also made significant investment in improving their facilities and infrastructure, which should help to create a more competitive environment for players.
Overall, the appointment of Zico as Guo'an's new head coach is a positive step forward for the club, and one that could pay off in the long run if the team can deliver consistent performances on the pitch.
