Australian coach Ante Milicic is set to lead the Chinese women's national football team, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) announced this weekend. The move comes after the team's disappointing failure to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics—a setback that ended manager Shui Qingxia's tenure. 🏆
With no major tournaments for two years, Milicic faces a rebuilding mission. The CFA received over 40 applications (!) before picking the former A-League coach over rivals like Perth Glory's Alen Stajcic and Manchester City's Nils Nielsen. Think of it as Football Manager IRL. 🎮
Known for tactical flexibility, Milicic previously guided Australia's Matildas to their best World Cup finish. Now, he'll need to level up China's squad chemistry. Fans are already buzzing: Can his 'down under' style unlock the team's potential? 🔑
