Felix Magath has been confirmed as the new manager of Chinese Super League club Shandong Luneng Taishan.
Magath, who won Bundesliga titles during his stints in charge of Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, is taking on his first managerial role since his sacking at Fulham in September 2014.
The 62-year-old, who oversaw Fulham's relegation from the Premier League in his first role outside Germany, posted on his Facebook account to say he is looking forward to the challenge in China.
"I am very interested in the big awakening of Chinese football," he added.
