Li Jin Yu's success made him a suitable candidate for relegation teams like Henan, Hainiu and Nantong Zhiyun. In the end, Li Jin Yu had a new option, which was to return to his former team Taishan and assist Choi Kang Hee. As a former goal scorer for Taishan, Lee was always the first to step up to the plate when the team was in trouble, turning the situation around and performing feats of turning the tide.
As a result, Li became Luneng's Golden Boot, leading the team to a double Super League and AFC Cup title. Li's outstanding performance at Luneng has earned him many calls from Shandong fans to return to coaching. Li's experience and ability make him a suitable assistant coach for Luneng, and it would be wise for him to fully assist veteran coach Cui Kangxi, who could be his successor in the future. Expect Li Jin Yu to usher in a new peak in his coaching career no matter where he is.
