Coaching career
After his football career he became a coach at Honam University before being offered the chance to become a trainer with the newly formed

At the beginning of the 2006 league season Lee Jang-soo returned to
China with Beijing Guoan who required a manager after Shen Xiangfu left after a disappointing season.
