Shenhua seeking new coach as Anelka simmers

Shanghai Shenhua says it plans to name a new head coach, just weeks after the big-spending Chinese soccer club appointed mercurial French striker Nicolas Anelka as player-coach.

There was no immediate comment from Shenhua about British reports that Anelka's former team-mate Didier Drogba, fresh from his Champion's League triumph with Chelsea, is set to join it.

Former Argentina manager Sergio Daniel Batista has been tipped for the coach's job, and Shenhua's star player, Anelka, is said to be threatening to quit the club in response, according to reports.
