Van Bronckhorst quits as Guangzhou R&F coach
Print Edition
Former Barcelona and Arsenal star Giovanni van Bronckhorst quit yesterday after one season as coach of Guangzhou R&F so he can return to his family.
The former Dutch international鈥檚 spell in China was badly disrupted by the coronavirus, with the Chinese Super League starting five months late. 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a very difficult year for me, for everyone,鈥 the 45-year-old told Chinese media, after R&F confirmed that he had quit. 鈥淎lthough working with the club, the team, the players and my staff was really nice... not seeing my family for me was 鈥 and is 鈥 the only thing (reason) I want to go back. I鈥檓 very happy that the club worked really well with me in this case (accepted his resignation) and it was a hard decision because I have a very good relationship with everyone here and really enjoyed my time working with the players. But eventually, my family comes first.鈥 Van Bronckhorst, a 2006 UEFA Champions League winner as a player with Barcelona, took R&F to 11th in the virus-hit CSL, having been named as boss in January. The side finished 12th the year before under ex-Yugoslav international Dragan Stojkovic. On Wednesday it went out in the quarterfinals of the CFA Cup on penalties.
