The Chinese Super League (CSL) has confirmed that Qingdao East Asia FC have appointed a new coach to replace the one who was sacked earlier this week.

The club had previously announced that their head coach, Zeng Jie, would be leaving the team after the conclusion of the season due to personal reasons.

However, it appears that the decision to sack him came too late for Qingdao East Asia FC to make any changes before the end of the season.

As a result, they have now been relegated from the CSL, which means that they will be playing in the second tier of Chinese football next season.

Despite this setback, Qingdao East Asia FC have vowed to continue working hard and improving their performance on the pitch.

They have also expressed their gratitude to Zeng Jie for his contribution to the team during his time with them.

In addition to this, the club's fans have also shown support for their team, despite the disappointing news.

Overall, it is clear that Qingdao East Asia FC will need to work hard if they want to avoid relegation in the coming seasons.

With a new coach in place and a strong fan base behind them, there is still hope for the team to turn things around and achieve success in the future.
