Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan have appointed former Bayer Leverkusen boss Roger Schmidt as their head coach.
Guoan made the announcement on Saturday, with Schmidt due to be unveiled on July 1 after signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.
"We are delighted to announce that Roger Schmidt has been appointed as head coach of the first team," Guoan said in a statement.
"Schmidt, who is a standout example of the up-and-coming coaches in German, has won worldwide plaudits for his high-pressing style with Red Bull Salzburg and Bayer Leverkusen.
"We are convinced that Schmidt will give a new impetus to Beijing Guoan and will lead our team to reach new heights."
