André Villas-Boas
Under Eriksson, Shanghai SIPG advanced to the quarter finals in their debut on the AFC Champions League, and guaranteed a seat of 2017 AFC Champions League by finishing the third of the league in the 2016 season. However, Eriksson was criticized by single tactical play and failing to give chances to young talents throughout his term at SIPG. He was replaced by André Villas-Boas on 4 November 2016.
