China still grappling with coaching conundrum16/5/2018
 Li Xiaopeng's recent appointment as head coach of Shandong Luneng has aroused heated debate about the dearth of local talent in the domestic game.To get more chinese sports news, you can visit shine news official website. Replacing German Felix Magath, Li became Luneng's first homegrown boss in its 20-year history.
Li is also something of a rarity in the Chinese Super League, with only three out of 16 clubs having domestic coaches at the helm. New draft measures designed to stimulate domestic soccer offer hope that imbalance could soon shift. The Chinese Football Association (CFA) has proposed that top-tier and second-division clubs must have at least one Chinese under-23 player in its XI throughout a game, starting from the 2018 season. In addition, the governing body plans to make it mandatory for teams to have at least two under-21 players on the bench for each match.
 However, even if these rules are implemented, major challenges remain for local talent, particularly among the coaching ranks. Magath came to Luneng in June 2016, rescuing it from relegation before finishing sixth last term. His departure made him the third big-name foreign coach to leave China in the offseason, following Andre Villas-Boas' exit from Shanghai SIPG and Luiz Felipe Scolari, who quit champion Guangzhou Evergrande. The 42-year-old Li, who spent his entire playing career with Luneng, was one of the key members of China's solitary World Cup finals experience, in 2002.
 He helped Luneng win two top-flight league titles (one in its previous incarnation as the Jia-A League) and the CFA Cup three times. He started working with Luneng as assistant manager in December 2015 after serving as head coach of the women's national team and general manager of Shijiazhuang Everbright. Hao Wei, who managed the Chinese women's team from 2012-15, has been named assistant coach and technical director of Luneng. The club said that plans to name a local head coach were long in the making. "We have always been dedicated to the development of local, young coaches since the club's inception," said Luneng in a statement.
"It is with this in mind that we have hired foreign coaches: to provide domestic coaches with opportunities for learning. The ultimate goal has always been for the good of Chinese soccer." Changchun Yatai and Shanghai Shenhua have also turned to Chinese coaches, appointing Chen Jingang and Wu Jingui respectively. In the second tier, former Everton midfielder Li Tie has been hired at Wuhan Zall and Zhu Jiong at Shanghai Shenxin. Last season, only three out of 16 teams employed Chinese head coaches, and all three were replaced by foreigners by the season's midpoint. Things don't look much better at present for local talent on the pitch. Wu Lei of Shanghai SIPG was the only homegrown player to feature in the CSL's top-20 scoring chart by the end of last term, finishing second.
