里皮下周出任國家隊主帥 意大利名帥能拯救中國足球嗎？.

　　Italian coach Marcello Lippi is set to become the new coach of China’s national soccer team, said AFP citing a report in Italy’s sports daily Corriere dello Sport on Wednesday.

　　法新社援引意大利體育日報Corriere dello Sport周三的報道表示說，意大利名帥馬塞洛·里皮將成為中國國家足球隊的新教練。

　　This comes after the team’s couch Gao Hongbo announced his resignation during the post-match press conference after China lost 2-0 to Uzbekistan in the FIFA World Cup qualifier earlier this month.

　　在本月上旬的世界杯預(yù)選賽中，中國隊以0-2輸給了烏茲別克斯坦，在賽后的新聞發(fā)布會上主教練高洪波宣布辭職，而現(xiàn)在將由里皮來接手這個爛攤子。

　　China’s hope to enter the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals dimmed after losing to South Korea, Uzbekistan and Syria, gaining only one point from four matches and standing last in the six-team Group B.

　　在輸給韓國、烏茲別克斯坦和敘利亞之后，中國隊幾乎已經(jīng)沒有希望擠進2018年世界杯了，國足四場比賽只得了一分，排在B組6支球隊的最后一名。

　　However, Huang Shiwei, an official from the China Football Association, has yet to confirm the appointment of new coach, saying the selection process was still continuing.

　　然而，據(jù)中國足協(xié)官員黃世偉(音)表示說，目前國家隊新教練還沒有任命，還在選擇當中。

　　"I can tell you only two things. First, we have accepted Gao Hongbo’s resignation. Second, for the coach post, we are carrying out the selection process and it has not yet finished," Huang told AFP earlier.

　　黃世偉早些時候向法新社透露說：“我只能告訴你兩件事。第一，我們已經(jīng)接受了高洪波的辭職申請。第二，國家隊主教練人選我們還在選擇當中，還沒有確定?！?/p>

　　The 68-year-old Italian is no stranger to China. Between 2012 and 2014, Lippi coached Chinese football club Guangzhou Evergrande, claiming Super League titles in three consecutive years.

　　今年68歲的里皮對中國來說并不陌生。在2012年到2014年間，里皮執(zhí)教中國足球俱樂部廣州恒大，連續(xù)三年獲得中超聯(lián)賽冠軍。

　　Speculations on China’s new coach have been swirling for a while. Another report from Beijing Youth Daily indicated that the final name will be selected from four nominees: Gregorio Manzano, Sven-Goran Eriksson, Ma Lin, and Li Tie.

　　外界對國家隊新教練人選的猜測已經(jīng)有了好一陣子。據(jù)《北京青年報》的另一份報道顯示，最終人選將從這四位候選人中選出：格雷戈里奧·曼扎諾、斯文-戈蘭·埃里克松、馬琳、以及李鐵。

　　China will play Qatar in Kunming on Nov 15, the fifth game of the qualifiers. A new head coach is expected to be in place ahead of the match.

　　11月15日，國家隊將在昆明舉行的世界杯第五場預(yù)選賽中對陣卡塔爾。預(yù)計在這場比賽之前，國家隊新主教練將會走馬上任。
