Chan Yuen-ting -- 29-year-old Hong Kong-born former player and manager -- was the first ever woman to coach a men's teams in Hong Kong's Premier League. She guided Eastern Sports Club to the club's first ever Hong Kong Premier league title in 2016 also becoming the first and youngest woman to win the title.

Prior to her appointment as manager of Eastern Sports Club in 2015, she worked as an assistant manager with Hong Kong Premier League clubs Pegasus FC and Southern District FC.

After guiding the men's clubs Eastern to a runners-up finish last season and becoming the first women's manager to take part in the AFC Champions League, she resigned as manager in 2017, reverting to an assistant role in the club.

Yuen-ting claims she has to continue and complete her education in coaching before taking up the manager's role and is the reason for her stepping down as manager. However, she is a quality coach with no limits to how far she can go.
