Contents

He played for one club, Busan I'Park.

In March 2009, he announced his retirement.

Playing career

He is one of the legends of Busan, a one-club man who has experienced Daewoo-Icons-IPark (former teams based in Busan). [2]

As the captain of the Ajou University soccer team, he won the 1997 National University Football League Fall Championship and was named the tournament MVP. [3] After receiving attention through this tournament, he joined Daewoo Royals (now Busan I'Park), the parent company of Ajou University.

His first season with the Daewoo Royals (now Busan I'Park) was a difficult one for him. He couldn't play a single game due to injuries. [4] After returning from injury in 1999, he was recognized as an important player by interim manager Chang Woe-ryong in the second half of the season, and played a key role. He played 20 games in the season, mainly as a right-back.

In 2000, he was recognized for his skills and signed a new contract with a signing bonus of 60 million won and an annual salary of 24 million won, but he was injured again and only played in 4 league games.

From 2001 to 2007, he played excellent as a fullback and wingback under several Korean coaches with good skills. In 2008, he was appointed as the captain as the most veteran player of the team under coach Hwang Sun-hong. However, towards the end of the first half of the season, he suffered a serious injury and it became difficult for him to continue playing.

In 2009, he ended his career as a player with a retirement ceremony at Busan I-Park Stadium.

Tactical style

Unlike other K-League coaches, Lee is famous for using state-of-the-art tactics. He also uses goalkeepers like field players to attract opponents and counterattacks. As Lee said in an interview, "I learn from Brighton and Arsenal's tactics, [5] I will inherit those of Roberto De Zerbi and Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta.

Director's experience

the early days of a leader

After retiring from Busan I'Park, he went through the process of obtaining a leadership certificate and was appointed as a coach in his alma mater Ajou University's soccer department since 2011.

After serving as a head coach under coach Ha Seok-joo, he was promoted to coach when Ha Seok-joo took over as manager of Jeonnam Dragons in August 2012, and began his coaching career early on. He has won numerous championship trophies for about three years at Ajou University and began to be recognized as a competent leader in the U-League. [6]

Ahead of the 2015 season, he changed seats with coach Ha Seok-joo. He joined the Jeonnam Dragons as a coach and made his debut as a professional leader. [7]

the Nam Ki-il Division

With his appointment as a coach of Gwangju FC in 2016, he will serve as a major member of the division that will remain.

Along with coach Ma Chul-joon and goalkeeper coach Ki Woo-sung, he continued to assist coach Nam Ki-il through Seongnam FC and Jeju United FC and served as the right arm of coach Nam Ki-il as a senior coach. [8]

After that, he moved to Seongnam FC with Nam Ki-il, leading Seongnam to promotion and stay in the top division, and in 2020, he moved back to Jeju United, manager Nam Ki-il's former club, to build leadership as a senior coach, [9] including Jeju's promotion and fourth place in the league.

Gwangju FC

On December 28, 2021, he officially took over as the 7th manager of Gwangju FC, which was relegated to the K League 2, making his debut as a professional club manager, and returning to Gwangju after about five years. [10]

2022 season in Gwangju FC

He made his managerial debut through the league's opening game against Gimpo FC, but unfortunately lost 1:2. [11]

In a series of matches against Daejeon Hana Citizen, he beat everyone's expectations and achieved his first win since his debut as a coach. [12] He was aggressive in this game, but he was aggressive and pushed Daejeon hard, blocking Daejeon's build-up and causing pass misses, interfering with the attack and stealing the ball. He showed strong pressure and prepared well for Daejeon, which plays a lot of soccer. It was a famous game that predicted Gwangju's victory.

In particular, with rookie Jung Ho-yeon as the first starter in the game, he blocked Lee Hyun-sik, Daejeon's playmaker, and blocked Daejeon's build-up. In addition, Jung Ho-yeon acted as a cleaner in the center of Gwangju, overwhelmed the center of Daejeon, raising the morale of the team and fans with determined plays and leading the game in an advantageous direction.

Since then, he has continued to rise, leading Bucheon FC 1995 and leading the league, [13] and in the third round of the FA Cup away match against Incheon United in the K League 1, he has created a stir by winning 6-1 in a big victory. [14]

Based on Gwangju's upturn, he became the winner of the Paradise City Coach of the Month award in April. Since the main prize is awarded through integration of the first and second parts, it is quite difficult for the K League 2 coach to receive, but he made it through. [15]

In the face-off against Gimpo FC at home on September 3, he made an aggressive replacement while being dragged 0:1, resulting in a crazy come-from-behind victory by scoring goals in the 90th and 94th minutes. [16] Now, regardless of the results of FC Anyang's fierce pursuit, if they achieve four wins, they can win the K League 2 title and win direct promotion on their own. [17]

On Sept. 21, then-second-ranked Anyang lost to Daejeon at the FC Anyang vs. Daejeon Hana Citizen match. Thanks to the double-digit gap that it has accumulated, it has secured early victory in the K League 2 and promotion to the K League 1 regardless of the results of the remaining matches. [18]

Along with the 2022 season's coach award, he contributed greatly to the team winning nine gold medals. [19]
