Shandong Luneng Club Announcement
In the Chinese Super League last season, Li Xiaopeng led Luneng ranked third in Group A in the first stage and rushed into the championship group.
But before the official start of the second stage, he suddenly announced his resignation due to physical reasons, which was surprising.
In the first stage, when Luneng's state was fluctuating, Li Xiaopeng was under greater external pressure, which may have become one of the reasons for his resignation.
And just a few days ago, many domestic media reported that Li Xiaopeng will be the head coach of Wuhan Zall next season. This announcement announced that he would step down from his position in the Luneng team, which also proves that the authenticity of the news is constantly being enlarged.
In another announcement issued earlier, the club announced the changes in the positions of the chairman and general manager.
"After research by the board of directors, Comrade Wu Zhidong serves as the chairman and general manager of Shandong Luneng Taishan Football Club. Comrade Sun Hua no longer serves as the general manager of the club."
