SHANGHAI - China are searching for a third coach this year after the football association accepted Marcello Lippi's resignation following the damaging loss to Syria in World Cup qualifying.
"We could beat weaker opponents like Maldives and Guam , but when we encountered stronger teams like the Philippines and Syria, we could not play our own football." Syria's fourth-straight victory left them comfortably atop Group A in qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The former Juventus and Italy boss, who was broadly popular in China, reportedly earned 180 million yuan per year, making him one of the best-paid coaches in the world.
Lippi, who began his first spell as China coach in October 2016, was accused earlier this month by the local media of delivering"a slap in the face" to Chinese football, amid grumblings that he was not doing enough to justify his hefty salary.
