早在1957年,中国就向越南派遣了足球教练史万春、排球教练钱家祥、武术教练顾留馨,从此拉开了中国对外派遣教练员的序幕。此后的40多年时间里,中国先后有2300多名教练员在国外执教过成年、青年和少年等各级别的国家队或俱乐部。这些教练在国外执教时间的长短和困难不同,最后的结果也不一样,但他们还是在异国他乡留下了自己打拼过的足迹。 As early as 1957, China dispatched a soccer coach Shi Wanchun, volleyball coach Qian Jiaxiang and martial arts coach Gu Huanxin to Vietnam, thus starting the prelude of China’s overseas dispatching of coaches. In the 40 years since then, more than 2,300 coaches from China have successively coached overseas national teams or clubs of adult, youth and juvenile level. These coaches have different lengths and difficulties in teaching abroad, and their final results are different. However, they still leave their own footprints in a foreign country.
