Former Milton Keynes Dons manager Robbie Neilson has been linked with the vacant job at Chinese side Shenzhen Peng City.
What happened?
Neilson, who managed Milton Keynes Dons from 2016 to 2018, is currently the assistant manager at Lommel in Belgium. Shenzhen Peng City parted company with their boss Chen Tao, despite picking up seven points from a possible nine in recent weeks.
Why it matters for Milton Keynes Dons
The potential move comes as Milton Keynes Dons sit 2nd in England League Two, with 86 points from 46 games, and a recent form of DWWWD. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Fleetwood Town on 2026-05-02.
What comes next?
If Neilson were to take the job, it would be his first managerial role in China. He has previously managed Hearts and Dundee United in Scotland, and Tampa Bay Rowdies in North America.
