Updated:2026-01-13 08:32 Views:83Qingdao Tianshans FC, the Chinese professional football club based in Qingdao, has appointed a new coach for its upcoming season as it faces the threat of relegation from the China League One.
The team is currently sitting at the bottom of the table with just two wins and four losses in their first nine games this season. The team's head coach, Zhang Guoan, was sacked after the team's defeat against Shanghai SIPG on September 11th.
In response to the situation, Qingdao Tianshans FC has appointed former Guangzhou Evergrande coach Jürgen Klinsmann as their new head coach. Klinsmann has previously coached teams such as Bayern Munich and the US national team, and his appointment comes as a significant boost to the team's morale.
Klinsmann will be tasked with leading the team back up the league table and avoiding relegation. He will have to work quickly to turn around the team's fortunes, as the team's next match is against Shanghai Shenhua on October 2nd.
Qingdao Tianshans FC fans are hopeful that Klinsmann can lead the team to success, but they also understand that the task ahead of them is not easy. With just five matches remaining in the regular season, every game will be crucial if the team wants to avoid relegation and secure their place in the top flight of Chinese football.
As the team prepares for their match against Shanghai Shenhua, fans will be hoping that Klinsmann can help the team turn things around and secure their survival in the league.
