The Chinese Super League (CSL) has announced its first ever relegation to the second division, following the club's relegation from the top tier last season.

On Sunday, Guangzhou Evergrande FC confirmed their move to the second tier of China's football league system. They were given a one-year contract by the Shanghai Shenhua Football Club, which will be the new owner of the club and have until the end of the current season to complete the purchase.

Evergrande FC is known for its aggressive style of play and strong defensive record, but they faced criticism after losing their match against Jiangsu Suning FC in the Chinese Super League Play-off round. The loss was seen as a setback for the team and prompted speculation about their future.

However, with the relegation to the second division, the team may now have more time to work on improving their performance. The club has already begun to make changes to their squad, including signing new players and strengthening their defense.

Despite the challenges, the team remains optimistic about their chances of making it back up to the top tier next season. "We're confident that we can bounce back from this setback," said Guo Wenxuan, the coach of the team. "We'll do everything possible to improve our performance and return to the top tier."

The relegation to the second division comes at a difficult time for the club, as they are facing financial difficulties and are looking towards potential opportunities in other leagues. However, the team is determined to turn things around and regain their status in the league.

In conclusion, the relegation to the second division of the Chinese Super League marks a significant development for the club. With the team working hard to improve and the support of their fans, they remain hopeful of returning to the top tier of Chinese football soon.
