Brief introduction of Li
As a representative of local young coaches, Li was a famous winger when he was a player and played in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. After retiring, he coached China Women's Football Team and Qingdao Zhongneng Team successively.
20 17, 12 Li replaced German coach Magat as the head coach of Shandong Luneng. In the past two and a half seasons, he led Luneng in 98 games, with a record of 54 wins, 22 draws and 22 losses. He led the team to the FA Cup finals twice on 20 18 and 20 19, but unfortunately won the runner-up twice. This season, Luneng's record has fluctuated under the leadership of Li. In the first stage of the league, Luneng not only had a classic battle to teach Evergrande, but also had an embarrassing moment when he unexpectedly lost to Dalian people.
Many Luneng fans have complained about their conservative tactical style, but failed to fulfill the promise of "catching a big fish in the transfer market", which made Li criticized, and the superposition of multiple factors finally crushed Li's last psychological defense. His sudden departure also cast a shadow over Luneng's preparation and competition.
Xinmin Evening News-Shandong Luneng officially announced: Li will no longer be the team coach, and Hao Wei will take over.
