Lee Man president out to avoid more head coach errors, wants to spend HK$25m budget wisely
Lee Man president Norman Lee Man-yan has taken responsibility for the club’s turbulent Hong Kong Premier League campaign and vowed to avoid a repeat of his mistakes from the past 12 months.
Champions last season, the club have burned through managers this time around, while a number of high-profile signings have flopped.
Former head coach Tsang Chiu-tat left in October, while replacement Matt Holland lasted just 13 games. Chu Siu-kei, in temporary charge for the second time, has hauled Lee Man back into the title race and, ahead of a trip to Football Club on Sunday, they are a point behind leaders Tai Po, with four games remaining.
Given what was at stake, Lee said it “wouldn’t be appropriate to disclose too many things” about his coaching team for next season.
He has “spoken to a few people who are interested in the [head coach] position”, however, and did not rule out appointing Chu permanently.
“We’re interviewing coaches from overseas and locally,” Lee said. “Last time, I made a mistake hiring the head coach. This time, I want to talk with more people and find a more suitable candidate.”
Lee said experience of working in Asian football would be a “definite bonus”, but the coach’s nationality “doesn’t matter”.
Asked why Holland had not worked out, Lee simply said the Welshman “wasn’t the right mix”.
“I don’t want to say a lot about Matt, but he put real effort into coaching Lee Man,” Lee said. “I wanted to see a change of scenery, I wish him every success in the future.”
Lee Man were thumped 4-0 by Southern in the Sapling Cup final last week, and Lee said the would not feel “bitter disappointment” is his side ended the year without a trophy, adding they would be paying “for the mistakes we made”.
Chief among those missteps was a delay in player recruitment last year, because “we had too much focus on winning the league”.
“We started building the squad in early May, which was too late,” Lee said. “The process should start in the second half of the season.”
A lesson has been learned and planning for the 2025-26 campaign began in March. “We have most of our squad ready for next season,” Lee added.
While last summer’s marquee recruits, Jiloan Hamad and Gaizka Martinez, were gone by January, and new-year signing Taufee Skandari is out in the cold, Ryan Tafazolli, the defender on loan from Wycombe Wanderers, has been a hit.
“I like him a lot, his salary is quite high, but I’m open [to him staying], we will discuss it with him in the near future,” said Lee, who added that the club’s budget would be around HK$25 million (US$3.2 million) for next season.
Lee also said the club were “taking a very close look” at the performances of a host of players whose contracts expire this summer.
Meanwhile, Southern chairman, Chan Man-chun said his club’s HK$9 million budget was a barrier to competing with the league’s big spenders.
“Winning the Sapling Cup provided value for money,” added Chan, who said he expected to lose two players who have been offered better pay elsewhere. “We know our position: what we can spend and that we have to spend on quality.”
Chan said the interim management team that masterminded Southern’s cup success, boss Calvin Pui Ho-wang, assistants Ju Yingzhi and Beto and keeper coach Fan Chun-yip, would stay in charge next season “if they want to”.
