Sports Milutinovic Back to Beijing for Soccer Match of China with Japan

The head coach of China National Football Team, Milutinovic returned to Beijing today to decide on the makeup of coaches and cast of the national team by ending his vacation in the US ahead of time, because there is only one month left before the Sino-Japan soccer match starts.

It is reported that Milutinovic has obviously kept to himself a name list of soccer members to form his team though he hasn't announced it.

The China Football Association hasn't got a clear statement from Milutinovic about the formation of his coaches. But when recommending the coach members to Milutinovic, the Association emphasizes the former coaches of China National Football Team: Jin Zhiyang, Chi Shangbin and Sang Tingliang. Milutinovic, it is reported, will give a consultation plan with China Football Association. China Football Association will help him fulfill the work of reorganizing China National Football Team to prepare for its first match of the new national team.

By early March, Milutinovic will fly to Shanghai to watch a match between Shangdong Luneng and Liaoning Fushun. From March 6 to 12, the new National Football Team will assemble in Shanghai for its first training term of the year, then fly to Japan to take part in the match between China and Japan.

According to another report, Milutinovic will make his home at Beijing during the time he works as head coach of China National Football Team. Sources have it that his family members will have home leave every year according to contracts signed between him and China Football Association.
