In May this year, Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of Shanghai SIPG, was appointed as the leader of the preparatory group for the Football Association's election. Since then, Chen Xuyuan has been regarded as the candidate for the new chairman of the Football Association . Since then, Chen Xuyuan stepped down as Shanghai SIPG Group, which further confirmed this.
In today's election, Chen Xuyuan was elected as chairman of the new Football Association without any suspense. Unlike the past, the Football Association's chairman is mostly "nouncing" or "on-job", Chen Xuyuan is the real full-time chairman of the industry association in the sense of the , with the right to make decisions on major matters, personnel appointment and removal rights, and financial rights.
It is understood that after taking office, Chen Xuyuan not only has to preside over the daily work of the Football Association, the most important task is to establish a professional alliance. He also mentioned this in his Football Association work report this morning, "Improve the professional league system, establish a professional league, and form a vibrant, standardized and orderly professional league management system and operating mechanism."
In July this year, Chen Xuyuan turned 63 years old. At the age of 17, Chen Xuyuan worked in Shanghai Port , and he was a dock worker at that time. In 1979, he worked as secretary in the Shanghai Port Authority Office and was transferred to the Youth League Committee of the Shanghai Port Authority two years later. In 1988, Chen Xuyuan no longer served as secretary of the Youth League Committee, and served as the manager of the Shanghai Port Baoshan Container Loading and Unloading Company, and his role was changed to a state-owned enterprise operator. In 1997, he graduated from the Shanghai Maritime Transport College Master of Business Administration. 2 In June 005, he began to serve as the president of Shanghai SIPG. 2013html Before leading the acquisition of Shanghai East Asia Club in 2013html, Chen Xuyuan's professional resume was all related to Shanghai SIPG Group and did not have much intersection with football.
In the past six years, Shanghai SIPG has gradually grown from a newly promoted team to a league champion, and has entered the AFC Champions League knockout stage for four consecutive years, becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the Asian arena. This is inseparable from the investment of Shanghai SIPG Group and the support of Chairman Chen Xuyuan.
Although Chen Xuyuan's football experience is zero, he is an absolute fan. In a financial program, the development gap between Shanghai Port and foreign ports at the age of 17 was described. Chen Xuyuan used football to make an analogy. "According to the classification of Chinese League Chinese Super League , Chinese League One , Chinese League , Chinese League , Chinese League , at that time, Shanghai Port did not even play the Chinese League till all ports in the world."
Although Chen Xuyuan rarely accepts media interviews and his style of conduct is not ostentatious, whenever he comes out to accept an interview, the media will give him a very welcome attitude, because "what questions do you ask him, his answers are one, one, two, two, and there has never been that sticky way of answering, and he will not talk to you official or talk empty words. "
Assistant as the chairman of the Chinese Football Association is a new topic and challenge for Chen Xuyuan. Compared to the past, what may be more concerned about and is what impression and imprint he will leave on the 5 goals of the Chinese national football team in the future.
