Shenzhen FC have parted company with Clarence Seedorf and replaced him with former Lazio boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Seedorf was only appointed Shenzhen Coach in the summer, but achieved a ninth-place finish in China’s second tier.
The early exit is Seedorf’s second of his managerial career, having also been fired by Milan at the end of the 2013-14 campaign.
Succeeding the former Netherlands midfielder is Eriksson, who was recently culled by top-flight side Shanghai SIPG.
