Chan Yuen Ting, born on October seventh, nineteen eighty-eight, is a distinguished figure in the world of football, both as a player and a coach. Currently, she serves as the head coach of Jiangsu L.F.C., where her leadership continues to inspire many in the sport.

In a groundbreaking achievement in two thousand sixteen, Chan made history by becoming the first woman to coach a men's professional football team to the championship of a nation's top league. This remarkable feat not only showcased her tactical acumen but also paved the way for future generations of female coaches in a predominantly male-dominated field.

The following year, in two thousand seventeen, she further solidified her legacy by becoming the first woman to manage a male football club in a top-flight continental competition. Under her guidance, Eastern faced off against Guangzhou Evergrande in a match of the AFC Champions League, marking a significant milestone in her coaching career.

Chan holds prestigious coaching certifications, including the AFC “Pro” License and the AFC “Futsal Level 2” License, reflecting her commitment to excellence and continuous professional development in the sport.
