Playing career

Coaching career

Along with former Chinese international footballer Su Maozhen, Fu Bo went abroad on September 3, 2007 to Cologne, Germany to gain his coaching badges.^[5] This would eventually lead to Fu gaining an assistant coaching job with the Chinese national team when Gao Hongbo became the Head coach in 2009. After several years Fu was trusted enough to go on lead the team on a one-off occasion in a friendly match against New Zealand on March 25, 2011 that ended in a 1-1 draw.^[6] While he would soon return to his assistant duties Fu would have a new Head coach to work under when José Antonio Camacho took over the team on August 13, 2011. As well as working under Camacho, Fu was also promoted to be the Head coach of the China U-22 team in 2012. After a series of disappointing results Camacho was fired and Fu took on the national team on a caretaker basis. He was eventually succeeded by Frenchman Alain Perrin.
