Lee Man is pleased to announce the appointment of Giancarlo Italiano as the Club‘s new Head Coach.
Giancarlo Italiano, 43, holds a UEFA Pro Licence and possesses dual Australian and Italian nationality. He previously served as Chief Analyst and Assistant Coach at Wellington Phoenix before being promoted to Head Coach in July 2023. In his first season in charge, he guided the club to a second-place finish in the A-League Men regular season.
Following a comprehensive recruitment and evaluation process, the Club identified Giancarlo as the ideal candidate to lead Lee Man into its next chapter. His football philosophy, leadership qualities and commitment to youth development align closely with the Club’s long-term vision.
The Club believes his appointment will bring a new perspective to the team, while helping to enhance competitiveness on and off the pitch. Through his international experience, Lee Man also hopes to create further development opportunities for local players and contribute to the continued growth of football in Hong Kong.
Giancarlo is scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong later this month and has already commenced work with the Club. He remains in close communication with the management team as preparations continue for squad planning, pre-season arrangements and the Club‘s ongoing development.
