Qingdao East Asia appoints former Guangzhou Evergrande coach as new head coach

The Chinese Super League (CSL) has seen its share of changes in recent years, with several clubs making significant personnel moves to strengthen their squads and compete for the top spot. One such club is Qingdao East Asia, who have appointed a new head coach after the departure of former Guangzhou Evergrande coach Jürgen Klopp.

Former Guangzhou Evergrande player and coach, Jürgen Klopp, was hired by Qingdao East Asia on June 17th, 2022. The German manager had previously led the team to success in his previous stint at the club, leading them to two consecutive league titles. However, he departed from the club due to personal reasons.

Klopp's appointment comes as a surprise to many fans of the CSL, as he is known for his tactical acumen and ability to bring out the best in his players. He will be tasked with guiding Qingdao East Asia towards success in the upcoming season, which promises to be competitive with teams like Beijing Guoan and Shanghai SIPG vying for the top spot.

Klopp's arrival at Qingdao East Asia marks a major shift in the club's management structure, with the club now looking to rebuild its squad and compete at the highest level of football in China. It remains to be seen whether Klopp's appointment will lead to a significant improvement in the club's performance, but one thing is certain – the new head coach will certainly be under pressure to deliver results.
