Beijing Guoan Football Club has announced the appointment of Michael Keita as their new head coach, following a successful stint at the helm of the Manchester United team in the Premier League. The news comes as a surprise to many fans who were expecting a familiar face from Chinese football.
Michael Keita was born on March 15, 1984, and is a French professional footballer who has played for several clubs throughout his career, including Paris Saint-Germain, AS Monaco, and AC Milan. He also spent time on loan at Manchester United during his playing days.
In addition to his impressive record at Manchester United, Keita has also won the Premier League title with the club in 2009. His experience in the top flight of English football will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to Beijing Guoan, who have struggled in recent seasons.
The appointment of Keita marks a significant change for Beijing Guoan, who have been struggling in recent years. The club has undergone a major overhaul, with new owners taking over in January 2020. With Keita now leading the charge, it remains to be seen how he will fare against some of the toughest opponents in Chinese football.
Despite the challenges that Beijing Guoan faces, Keita's appointment is certainly a positive step forward for the club. With his wealth of experience and success in the Premier League, he should be able to help turn around the fortunes of the club and give them a fighting chance of achieving success once again.
