(Reuters) - Choi Yong-soo has become the fifth South Korean coach in this season's Chinese Super League after agreeing a two-and-a-half year deal to move from FC Seoul to Jiangsu Suning, the Chinese club said on their website on Tuesday.

Choi, who led Seoul to the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League this year, will take over from July 1. He replaces Romania's Dan Petrescu, who was sacked earlier this month.
