History
On 18 February 2005 the Guizhou Provincial Sports Bureau and Guizhou Zhicheng Enterprise Group Investment Co., Ltd. took over and re-established the Guizhou Province football team as a youth team after paying the membership fee of 600,000 Yuan to the Chinese Football Association.[1] After playing within the youth leagues for several seasons the club decided the teams players were old enough to enter the senior football league. They entered in the third tier at the beginning of the 2008 league season where they came fourth within the Southern league and entered the play-offs where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals.[2] They would achieve the same feat the following season but this time go one better by being knocked out in the second round of the play-offs.[3]
In the 2010 league season the team finished third within the league and missed out on promotion, however despite this the owners decided to take over second tier football club Pudong Zobon's registration for 5 million Yuan and their place within the division.[4] At the beginning of the season Wang Haifang (王海芳) was brought in to manage the team and initial results under his reign saw the club briefly push for promotion until on 3 June 2011 he tragically died in a car accident.[5] Zhang Ning (张宁) was brought in as his replacement, however results plummeted and Yuan Yi (袁弋) came in but he was unable to stop the club from relegation after they lost a relegation play-off to Fujian Smart Hero Leephick.[6] In the following season the club was immediately able to bounce back and went on to win the 2012 China League Two division. Yuan Yi would decide to leave as manager of the club and on 28 May 2013 Arie Schans from the Netherlands would become the clubs first foreign coach.[7] His introduction could not amend the clubs disappointing start to the season and the team would go through a 14-game winless streak within the league, which ultimately contributed to their relegation.[8]
In the 2014 league season Zhang Jun was brought in as the clubs Head coach where he led the club to a third-place finish and just outside promotion, however second tier club Shenyang Zhongze F.C. officially dissolved on 27 February 2015, unexpectedly freeing a space within the league, which Guizhou took.[9]
