After securing his job for at least another round of World Cup qualifiers, Team China head coach Li Tie was quick to thank his predecessor, Marcello Lippi, for contributing to his success.

"I sincerely want to thank Lippi. Honestly speaking, the reason why I have got this far is because I have received a lot of help from many people," Li told Titan Sports before the Chinese Football Association on Monday confirmed the 44-year-old will lead the national team in the final phase of Asian zone qualifying.

"For example, if it wasn't for the support of CFA president Chen Xuyuan, I might not have been able to take over Team China. At that time, many people questioned me, saying I was too young with not enough experience.
