Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has a new job after signing a two-year deal with a Chinese club reported to be worth about £4 million a year.

The Swedish coach is the new manager of Chinese Super League side Shanghai East Asia.

It is Eriksson's ninth job since leaving his role with England.

He left the Three Lions in 2006 after leading them to three consecutive quarter-final appearances at major tournaments.

Since then he has taken on other international roles like the Mexico and Ivory Coast jobs as well as club roles in England, the Middle East and China.

Last season he managed Shanghai East Asia's domestic rivals Guangzhou R&F. Eriksson will have two Swedish players at his disposal at Shanghai with Tobias Hysen and Imad Khalili in the squad.
