Recently, Chinese Super League powerhouse Shenzhen made a major personnel change, officially announcing the departure of head coach Lee Jang-soo. The Korean media is highly concerned about this, pointing out that Lee Jang-soo had no choice but to resign after only seven months in charge of the Shenzhen team due to five consecutive defeats.
It is reported that 66-year-old Lee Jang-soo was officially announced to have stepped down on September 1 due to poor performance during his tenure as Shenzhen's head coach. Former China men's soccer midfielder Zhang Xiaorui was appointed to take over the position of acting head coach.
In fact, the reason for Li Zhangsu's dismissal is mainly due to his poor performance with the team. As of his dismissal, Shenzhen had a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses, with 16 points, ranking only 13th among the 18 Chinese Super League teams. Since August, the Shenzhen team has not won five consecutive games, scoring only 3 goals and conceding 18 goals.
Lee Jang-soo, known as the "Light of Chongqing", is one of the most successful Korean coaches in China. Since 1998, he has coached seven Chinese clubs, including Lifan, Qingdao Belette, Beijing Guoan, Guangzhou Evergrande, Chengdu Tiancheng, Changchun Yatai and Shenzhen.
