Ex-Real Madrid boss Camacho happy to take China job

Former Real Madrid coach Jose Antonio Camacho is delighted taking the China job.

Camacho admits he had European club offers, but is excited to be testing himself in Asia.

"I had received some offers from other countries and also from foreign clubs, but China's offer was concrete, firm and serious. So I decided to come here," said Camacho.

"I will live in China for most of the year. In Beijing I will live two hundred days a year. I'll just go to Spain between November and February, when the league here closes for the cold.

"We (Camacho and wife Cris) are currently in a hotel, but we're house hunting."

Camacho quickly realised the scale of the job on his first day. His presentation was attended by FIVE HUNDRED Chinese journalists in Beijing.
