Yang Chen
Chi joined reigning league champion Shenzhen Jianlibao in 2005 to replace Zhu Guanghu, who left for the Chinese national team. The team fell from grace and finished in 12th place in a difficult season. Chi resigned after only three months due to his poor relationship with the squad, especially with then-captain Li Weifeng and senior players like Li Yi and Yang Chen. Chi was unhappy due to the senior players' influential control over the team, their unprofessional behavior and discipline especially with gambling. He tried to regain control of the squad with his strictness, but most of the players reacted fiercely by training and playing even more poorly. Li Weifeng punched Chi's office window; Yang Chen, who is already a relatively gentle person got upset too and repeatedly exposed the uselessness of Chi's policy to media, which saw the then owner Yang Saixin having to let Chi go.
