Marcello Lippi has been named coach of China for a second stint as they prepare for 2022 World Cup qualifying.
The former Italy and Juventus boss was at the helm of China for more than two years before leaving the post in January following a quarter-final exit at the Asian Cup.
He was replaced by Fabio Cannavaro, who stepped down last month to focus on coaching Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao.
