Felix Magath has become the latest foreign coach to leave the Chinese Super League (CSL) after Shandong Luneng announced on Friday the veteran German would not be extending his stay with the club.
The announcement of Felix Magath’s exit comes a day after Andre Villas-Boas also resigned from Shanghai SIPG. Former China international Li Xiaopeng has been named as Magath’s replacement.
“The contract between Shandong Luneng Taishan Football Club and Mr. Magath has expired and, after friendly discussions, the two sides have decided not to renew,” Shandong said in a statement issued on social media.
Since taking office in June 2016, Mr. Magath has further enhanced the team’s will, the quality of training and the athletic performance through his hard work.
“Mr. Magath’s professional attitude and dedication won the club’s respect and made him a fan favourite.
“We sincerely thank him for his hard work and wish Mr. Magath the best for the future.”
Felix Magath took over from Brazilian coach Mano Menezes with the club in danger of being relegated, but the former Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg steered Shandong to safety.
