Trailblazing woman coach Chan quits

2017-05-30 08:53 Shenzhen Daily

PIONEERING coach Chan Yuen-ting has resigned a year after making history as the first woman to lead a team to a men’s top-flight league title.

Chan, nicknamed “Beef Ball” for her toughness, coached Eastern Sports Club to win the Premier League in China’s Hong Kong last April for the first time in 21 years and led it into this season’s Asian Football Confederation Champions League.

The 28-year-old announced her resignation Saturday after the final game of a disappointing season in which Eastern failed to add to its silverware.

Chan earned the AFC coach of the year award in her debut season in charge last year and a place in Guinness World Record as the first woman coach to win a men’s championship in a top-flight league. (SD-Agencies)
