Chan Yuen-ting, the first woman to lead a men’s football team to a top-division national title, yesterday revealed that she hopes to one day coach in the Premier League.

Eastern Sports Club’s title win gives it a shot at next year’s Asian Champions League and despite club bosses having promised to invest in the squad to pursue further success in 2017, Chan has ambitions beyond Hong Kong.

“I want to go to another country, maybe just as an assistant coach to get more knowledge,” Chan said.
