Gao Hongbo (Chinese: 高洪波; pinyin: Gāo Hóngbō; born January 25, 1966 in Beijing) is a retired Chinese football striker and former head coach of China national football team. He previously managed China national football team from 2009 to 2011, and in 2016. Appointed in May 2009, Gao became the youngest man to take the helm in 30 years.
Gao was a big name in his professional life as a footballer. He was a prolific striker, who was famous for his agility in the box and fine ability in finishing. In 1998, he started his coaching career with several Chinese clubs. He was also an assistant of Dutchman Arie Haan in the China national team between 2002 and 2004. Gao made a big achievement as a coach in 2007, as he led Changchun Yatai to take the title of the CSL. In April 2009, he became the head coach of China national football team but was sacked in August 2011 and replaced by José Antonio Camacho. Gao returned as the head coach of the Chinese national football team in February 2016.
Born in a Hui family in Beijing, Gao was discovered and coached by Xu Genbao in the Beijing sports school. A talented youngster he would then join the Beijing Youth Football Team in 1981 where after several years he would be promoted to the senior Beijing team (now Beijing Guoan) in 1985. With them he would gradually establish himself within the team, yet it wasn't until Beijing were in the second tier and when they won promotion in 1990 that Gao Hongbo would rise to prominence. Once in the top tier his career would flourish and by the early 1990s he had become an integral member within the team where he would personally win the golden ball and golden boot award despite not winning a major trophy. In 1994 he left the team to play in Singapore for Tiong Bahru CSC citing the difficulty to pass the physical standard test of the football association.
