Reporter Wang Wei reported that on the evening of February 12, Shenzhen Football Club officially announced that South Korean coach Lee Jang-so was appointed as the head coach of Shenzhen team, and he will lead the team to start the first training of the new season in Haikou, Hainan on February 16. Known for his strictness, South Korea's "Iron Marshal" is a Chinese generalist, who has served as the head coach of Chinese teams for many times and led Guangzhou Evergrande to win the Chinese Super League championship. Lee Jang-so is now the head coach of deep foot, which is given special significance, facing the bottleneck encountered by deep foot in the championship group in the 2021 season, the Korean iron coach needs to open a new situation for deep foot.
Judging from his coaching resume, Lee's success is more achieved in China. After retiring in 1986, Lee Jang-so coached at The University of Gwangju, South Korea, and in 1988 joined Ichiwa Tenma as assistant coach, helping the team achieve a three-time top-flight title. In 1994, he became the head coach of Ichiwa Tenma and led the team to the top flight, the Asian Club Cup, the Asian Super League and the Asian-African Confrontation. In 1997, Lee Jang-so studied in Brazil and subsequently served as a member of the Technical Committee of the Korean Football Association.
In 1998, he came to China to coach and led the avant-garde Huandao and Qingdao Berlet to win the FA Cup.

From 2010 to 2012, Li Zhangsu led Guangzhou Evergrande to win the Chinese First Division Championship, the Chinese Super League Championship and the Chinese Super Cup. Since then, he has also coached Chengdu Tiancheng, Changchun Yatai and other teams.

Through last year's competition in the Chinese Super League championship group, it can be seen that Shenzu is not yet a strong team, but a team that is trying to move towards a strong team. In the process of moving towards a strong team, the Shenzhen team needs a coach who suits its own characteristics, and Li Zhangsu's experience in coaching Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou Evergrande is the process of the team gradually moving towards the top, in this regard, Li Zhangsu has his own unique experience.
From the team's strict management, hardness and technical level, the iron marshal is very suitable for the Shenzhen team, last season in the championship group, the performance of the deep foot more or less let the fans a little disappointed, deep enough to look forward to Li Zhangsu to give the team more clear technical and tactical requirements, to the team iron army temperament.
Based on the above comprehensive reasons, in order to further stimulate the potential of the Shenzhen team members, enhance the combat effectiveness of the whole team, and achieve good results in various competitions, the club decided to hire Li Zhangsu as the head coach of the first team after discussion and consultation with relevant departments, shareholders and strategic partners in Shenzhen.
The person in charge of Shenzhen Football Club said: "A team has developed to a certain stage, and to break through some bottlenecks, it is necessary to choose a coach who can open the situation. The Shenzhen team has been updated in the past two years and has made great progress, but it has also encountered bottlenecks. The performance of the championship competition is an example of this. How our players break through the bottleneck, how to go to a higher level, how to meet the requirements of investors and fans for higher and higher achievements, these are the factors for the club to choose Li Dao. His coaching philosophy is in line with the spirit and temperament that the Shenzhen team needs now. ”
