朱广沪
On March 9, 2005, the Chinese Football Association named the Zhu Guanghu as the successor of the Dutch coach, Arie Haan. Earlier in 2004, Mr. Haan's contract expired as the result of his failure to lead the China national football team into qualification for the Football World Cup 2006. Zhu's appointment was due to his success in the Chinese Super League with Shenzhen Jianlibao Football Club by winning the league's first championship. Other factors also attributed to Zhu's appointment. As a native, Zhu was expected to accept a much lower wage package than a foreign coach and there would be no language barrier. A number of people, including FIFA president Sepp Blatter suggested that a native coach would have better communication with the players.
