A former Watford and Espanyol manager Quique Sanchez Flores has been named as the new head coach of Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, the club said yesterday.
The Spaniard replaces Wu Jingui, who takes over as sporting director after steering Shenhua to victory in the Chinese FA Cup in 2017.

The former Real Madrid and Spain defender makes the move to China having also previously coached Watford in England’s Premier League, Benfica in Portugal and clubs in the United Arab Emirates.
