Beijing Guoan appoints former Premier League boss as new head coach.

Beijing Guoan, one of the most successful football clubs in China, has announced that they have appointed former Premier League manager Zinedine Zidane as their new head coach.

Zidane, who is known for his tactical acumen and ability to inspire players, will be tasked with leading Beijing Guoan to success on the pitch. The club's chairman, Zhang Jindong, said: "We are delighted to welcome Zinedine Zidane to Beijing Guoan. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from his time at Real Madrid and we believe he can help us achieve our goals."

Zidane's appointment has already generated excitement among fans of Beijing Guoan, who are hoping he can lead the team to victory in this season's Chinese Super League and potentially even qualify for next year's AFC Champions League.

Overall, the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as Beijing Guoan's new head coach is a significant move forward for the club, and one that could see them challenge for honours in the coming seasons.
