Albert Garcia Xicota would be appointed head coach of the club for the 2019 China League Two season and finished eleventh at the end of the season. The following campaign with the club, he would go on to guide them in winning the division title and promotion into the second tier.

They were awarded a 3–0 win against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, who had forfeited due to sick players, and had a better goal difference than Shandong Taishan to top the table.
On 17 June 2023, Morilla stepped down from his role after only 3 wins from the first 12 league games of the season. Japanese coach Tsutomu Takahata was appointed as his successor on the following day.
