Benitez beware, flurry of firings shows CSL's fickleness

Rafa Benitez's arrival dominated the headlines but Chinese Super League teams have sent the managerial merry-go-round into hyper-speed with five of the 16 clubs making changes in one month.

CSL clubs appear to have lost their nerve as they enter the final third of the season with the title and relegation fights too close to call.

The biggest shock came on Wednesday when Beijing Guo'an axed German Roger Schmidt and named Frenchman Bruno Genesio as his replacement.
