Xia, Zhang in for coach Li
Print Edition
CHINESE head coach Li Yongbo will step down from his position after 24 years with former world champion Xia Xuanze and former Olympic titlist Zhang Jun taking charge of singles and doubles, respectively, the Table Tennis and Badminton Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China said yesterday.
Li and other coaches were reassigned to an advisory panel with the Chinese Olympic Committee earlier this month, which will serve as the think tank for China’s Olympic preparation.
The Chinese national badminton team will reshuffle its coaching crew before the 2017 Sudirman Cup in Australia, doing away with the head coach and deputy head coach positions as Xia, 39, and 40-year-old Zhang begin coaching singles and doubles players, respectively. Former deputy head coach Tian Bingyi and Zhong Bo have been named consultants.
