The 65-year-old had requested to leave his role as technical director of the United Arab Emirates club after being offered the new opportunity in China.
A statement on the Guangzhou website said: "The club's board of directors has today officially hired Sven-Goran Eriksson as Guangzhou football coach until December 2014.
"Coach Li Bing will from today no longer serve as the acting head coach."
