The former Manchester City boss, 62, has been out of a job ever since being given his marching orders by the Etihad side - where he was replaced by Pep Guardiola.

Chilean chief Pellegrini was officially unveiled as boss of the Chinese outfit on the club's official Weibo page - a popular micro-blogging site in the country.

And the ex-City boss - who won the Premier League back in the 2013-14 season - will now link up with big name stars such as Ezequiel Lavezzi and former Arsenal man Gervinho.

Other famous players at Hebei China Fortune include ex-Chelsea man Gael Kakuta and Stephane Mbia.
