The reviving Chinese Super League (CSL) is attracting more and more foreign coaches and players.
Eleven coaches at the 16 CSL teams are from abroad, including Frenchman Omar Troussier, who signed a three-year contract with Shenzhen Ruby FC in February.
Known as the "White Witch Doctor", Troussier is well known to Chinese fans for his success with the Japanese national team, after he led the Blue Samurai to the continental title at the 2000 Asian Cup and made the round of 16 at the 2002 World Cup.
