Son Jun-ho, the new manager of Shandong Taishan FC, has been named as the replacement for former coach Gernot Rohr. The move comes after Rohr's contract was terminated by mutual consent with the club.
Rohr had been in charge of the team since June 2018 and led them to the Chinese Super League title in his first season in charge. However, his tenure came to an end due to disagreements with the club over their transfer policy and financial situation.
Son Jun-ho is a former player himself who played for various clubs in South Korea before becoming a coach. He has previously worked as a head coach at Jeju United and Guangzhou Evergrande respectively. His appointment as Taishan FC's new manager is seen as a positive step forward for the club, which has struggled in recent seasons.
The club's new manager will have to work hard to turn things around quickly, as they currently sit in the bottom half of the Chinese Super League table. However, with Son Jun-ho's experience and track record as a successful coach, there is hope that he can help the team turn their fortunes around and compete for promotion next season.
