Former Bayern Munich boss Felix Magath has been appointed the head coach at Shandong Luneng, the Chinese Super League club has announced.

The 62-year-old German also managed Wolfsburg, Schalke 04 and Fulham, and replaces Brazilian Mano Menezes, who quit the side that have reached the AFC Champions League quarter-finals but are mired in the league’s relegation zone.

Magath’s move also saw him reunite with Shandong captain Hao Junmin, who had a stint at Schalke when the German was in charge there.
