As the first foreign aid of Guangzhou Evergrande and even Super League, paulinho not only has outstanding personal ability, but also has deep feelings for Guangzhou Evergrande. All this stems from the fact that Guangzhou Evergrande extended an olive branch to him at the lowest point of his career. In the end, it helped him get back to the top and realize his dream of playing for Barcelona, one of the best clubs in the world. When paulinho returned to Guangzhou Evergrande from Barcelona with a grateful heart, the fans have listed him as one of the future successors of Evergrande.

Today, Guangzhou Evergrande has suffered the biggest trough since it was promoted to the Super League. Cannavaro, the current head coach of the club, was also deprived of the actual management right of the team because he handed over the gap in the first season since Guangzhou Evergrande was promoted to the Super League. Zheng Zhi, whose old captain is an assistant coach, was promoted to the general manager of the club and the actual manager of Guangzhou Evergrande again.

Although Cannavaro is still in Doha with the team, he has not terminated his contract with Guangzhou Evergrande. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is only one issue of compensation for liquidated damages when Cannavaro broke up with Guangzhou Evergrande. After all, Mr. Golden Ball is a decent man and can't be Zheng Zhi's puppet coach. Therefore, in recent days, major domestic sports media have also reported that Guangzhou Evergrande will launch the local handsome mode to compete in the Super League and AFC Champions League next season. Zheng Zhi, who has just been promoted to the general manager of the club, will be the head coach with a high probability. Fu Bo, who has the experience of coaching national brands and once served as an assistant coach at Evergrande, will join Evergrande to assist Zheng Zhi.

However, it is definitely not feasible for Fu Bo to assist Zheng Zhi alone. After all, coaching a Super League team, especially the top Super League club. It is definitely necessary to have a more optimized coaching team to implement it, so as to maintain the competitiveness of the team. At this time, the Brazilian media "esporteinterativo" reported that paulinho, who returned to Brazil to recuperate, did not relax, but participated in the online coaching training class organized by the Brazilian Football Association. After the course is completed, paulinho will get the B-level coach qualification certificate.

Combined with the current situation of Guangzhou Evergrande, it is inevitable that people will think of Zheng Zhi taking over the team. Next season, it is not surprising that Evergrande will copy Zheng Zhi's "road to promotion" to paulinho, and promote him as the captain and assistant coach of 1 to assist Zheng Zhi. In this way, Zheng Zhi can concentrate on the management of the club wholeheartedly. Of course, it is also possible for paulinho to prepare for a career as a coach after retirement. However, judging from paulinho's current state, it should be no problem to play for another 3-5 years, although it can't be said that we can play to the age of our respected old captain Zheng Zhi.
