Coaching career

After the end of his career as a player, Zhu became a coach, first with youth teams, including the Chinese junior national team. Among other things, he trained Li Jinyu and Li Tie , who later moved to Europe and gained greater fame there. In 1998 he became assistant coach of the Chinese national team under Bob Houghton . After the qualification for the 2000 Olympic Games failed, Houghton was replaced by Bora Milutinović . Zhu also left his post and became the coach of the Chinese club Shenzhen Ping'an , which was renamed Shenzhen Jianlibao in 2003 . He stayed there for five years, his greatest success being winning the first edition of the Chinese Super League in 2004. In 2002, when he was still in the previous Jia-A League , he was runner-up behind Dalian Shide and in 2003 third.

On March 9, 2005, Zhu became the successor of the Dutch coach Arie Haan, the 23rd national coach of China since the founding of the republic in 1949. [2] [3] [1] In addition, his wage costs were lower than those of foreign coaches. His main goal was to create a new national team, mostly young players, in order to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. In 2005, the Chinese national team won a title for the first time, the East Asian Cup, which, however, has a relatively low status. [1] After that, his tactics came under increasing criticism for being too offensive. Because of the team's poor performance, more and more fans demanded Zhu's resignation and even attacked his car. Since the team was eliminated in the first round of the Asian Cup in 2007 for the first time in 27 years, he resigned shortly thereafter. [3]

In 2008 Zhu signed a contract with Wuhan Guanggu, but in the same year the board withdrew his team from regular game traffic, so that Zhu was again without a coaching post. On August 31, 2009, he signed a three-year contract with the Shaanxi Chanba and replaced his compatriot Cheng Yaodong.
