After an eight-match winless run in the league, the Guangdong-based side have parted ways with the Swedish boss
Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has been sacked as coach of Chinese side Shenzhen.
Eriksson took over at the club in December but has overseen a below-par start to the China League One season.
Shenzhen, expected to be promoted to the top flight, are fourth in the table after just five wins in 13 league games.
An eight-match winless league run has cost the experienced Eriksson, who has previously been in charge of the likes of Manchester City, Roma and Lazio.
