Bruno Bini, new coach of the women's team of China! A big challenge for the coach and for a team that played the world!

This is very good news for women's football, we must develop this sport no matter where it is, because it will only strengthen its democratization.

Bini will also bring his vision, his experience, his game model to the Chinese team, which has participated and organized the World Cup and the Olympic Games.

It is a country of sport and it is their honor to give a boost to their team and to be ambitious in this sport!

The team from China

Ranked 14th at FIFA rank - demonstrating a respectful, rigorous and tactical game but lacking spirit, physics and a sharp game - the Chinese team has a lot to prove in the coming years! Therefore, this change could give a new dynamism to the team of the new Olympique Lyonnais rookie, Fei Wang to assert its international position in women's football.

China has hosted two World Cups, the first edition in 1991 and 16 years later in 2007! The Middle Kingdom also organized the Summer Olympics in 2008!

More recently, the Roses d'Acier took up a big challenge at the 2015 World Cup in Canada, reaching the quarter-finals - like the Blues - before being eliminated against the power of the United States, on the tight score of 1-0.

Regarding the team itself, nicknamed "The Steel", it has participated in all the World Cups of women's football except that of 2011 in Germany. She was a finalist in 1999 against the United States, in a match won on penalties by the "Stars and Stripes".

Previously, she was also a finalist at the 1996 Olympics, which took place in the USA. During this 3rd edition, China lost 2 to 1, against the American host country.

The People's Republic of China, however, has a strong impact on the Asian continent, especially in the Asian Cup that won 8 times for 13 participations!

However, in recent years, China is increasingly competing with its rival from the East, Japan has been shining since its victory in World Cup 2011 (on penalties) against the USA, who had the opportunity to take their revenge this year! And also finishing as a finalist at the London Olympics in 2012, which China did not participate in.

Nadeshiko Japan demonstrates a more dynamic and sharp game than the Roses d'Acier and won its first Asian Cup in 2014.

However, China is undeniably a strong nation of women's football and the China Football Federation, is exercising to develop the image to bring out the fruits.

Bruno Bini - New start

Bruno Bini, former coach of the French women's team (2007-2013) was named Friday at the head of the women's selection of China. "I take over the selection of Steel Roses. I am in Beijing where I was introduced this morning to the Chinese press, "he told AFP, confirming the information published in the Chinese media the day before.

The good reputation of French football has certainly concluded this choice of the Football Federation of China.

The new coach also attended the match between Jorge Vilda's Spain and Wang Fei's China, which was played in Weinan (city of Shaanxi Province in China) with a 3-1 defeat of the Steel Roses!

At the age of 60, Bruno Bini had not had a job since leaving the France A squad after Euro 2013. This is a real challenge for the former boss of Les Bleues, succeeding Hao Wei, who has led the Chinese team to the quarter-finals at the last World Cup 2015 in Canada.

He is also the third foreign coach to lead the women's selection with France's Elisabeth Loisel and Sweden's Marika Domanski-Lyfors.

Bruno Bini his career with the Blue

After climbing the ladder gradually within the French team, passing through the U16 (1993-1997), then the U19 (1997-2004) to resume the France A team between 2007 and 2013.

Bruno Bini is a discreet, reserved coach, who has established a climate of trust with these players to create a group cohesion and during the past 4 years we can clearly appreciate the image that the Blue send back to their supporters!

It was an emancipation due to this new coaching between mental and physical, infused with the tri-color selection.

The respective clubs of the French players also played on this new facet of the Blue, who wanted to improve the image of the team of France especially after Knysna in 2010.

The enthusiasm generated around the French women's team during the 2011 World Cup, to finish 4th, and the disillusionment 1 year later during the Olympic Games, with a new 4th place, has tarnished the image of Bruno Bini and led to his eviction. The coup de grace that will taint the former coach, was the elimination against Denmark at the Euro 2013 in Sweden.

Bini won only one title during his career for the Bleues, in the European Championship of -19 years of 2003!

He will be sacked and replaced by current coach Philippe Bergeroo.

The FIFA ranking of France during his term (2007-2013)

On March 16, 2007, the French team is ranked 7th, varies between 7th and 8th place in 2008, falling to 10th in 2009, to return 9th.

Stabilizing at the 8th in 2010, going back to the 6th at the end of 2011, grabbing another place of 5th in 2012, to return 6th on August 2nd, 2013, a few days after being removed from office ...

Current rank of the tricolor selection

France is now ranked 3rd and although the rank has changed a lot in the management of Bruno Bini, this will undoubtedly put France as a strong nation in women's football!

The high level with the China team

The goal of Bruno Bini is high with the Chinese selection of Roses d'Acier, because he must win and win a ticket for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, during the qualifications that will take place between February 29 and 9 March 2016 in Japan.
