Former Chelsea midfielder Dan Petrescu has been appointed head coach of Chinese Super League strugglers Guizhou Zhicheng.

Petrescu, who previously worked in China as head coach of Jiangsu Suning, replaces Spaniard Gregorio Manzano, the club announced on Thursday.

Guizhou are currently bottom of the Chinese Super League standings with four points having picked up just one win in the first 11 games of the season.

The Chinese Super League is taking a two-month break during the World Cup finals in Russia and will resume on July 17, with Petrescu’s first game scheduled one day later against defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande.
