Nicolas Anelka is expected to be confirmed as player-manager of Shanghai Shenhua in the next 24 hours.

The ambitious Chinese Super League team have moved to replace boss Jean Tigana following a poor run of results.

The former Chelsea striker oversaw his first training session in Shanghai on Thursday.

Zhu Jun, the chief executive of Shanghai Shenhua, is hopeful Anelka's contacts in the game will help him attract other big names to the club.

The 33-year-old has been allowed to bring in three coaches, including his assistant Baptiste Gentili.

Although the Chinese club moved to play down Tigana's departure, it is understood Anelka will replace, rather than assist, his French compatriot once the former Fulham manager has agreed a severance package.

The appointment of Anelka, who signed a two-year deal with Shenhua in December, represents the player's first move into coaching.

He will be tasked with arresting a slump in form that has left Shenhua in the bottom five of the Chinese league after five matches.

At least it would not look out of place to see the Manager in shorts on matchdays.

I'm not taking the piss in any way, but I agree completely with Angry Dad.

It smacks of publicity stunt. Has Anelka even done his coaching badges?
