Jordi Cruyff has been named as the new head coach of Chinese Super League side Chongqing Lifan. Former Netherlands international Cruyff succeeds ex-Portugal coach Paulo Bento, who was fired last month as Chongqing slipped towards the relegation zone. The 44-year-old ex-Barcelona and Manchester United winger previously worked as sporting director with AEK Larnaca in Cyprus and Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv, who he also coached for a short spell last season. Chongqing are 14th place in the table, and Cruyff's first game in charge is against second-placed Shandong Luneng on Saturday.
