Slaven Bilic has made an immediate return to management after being named as Beijing Guoan's new head coach, less than a month after he was sacked by West Brom.
Bilic has signed a two-year contract to replace Bruno Genesio, the Chinese Super League (CSL) club said on Wednesday.
Beijing made the announcement on social media and said they had decided not to renew the contract of Frenchman Genesio, who guided them to third in the CSL and the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League.
Croatian Bilic returns to management less than a month after his departure from The Hawthorns.
