Lee Kwan-Woo (born 25 February 1978) is a South Korean football coach and former player.
Early life
[edit]Born in Seoul, Lee graduated from Chunghwa Elementary School, Hanyang Middle School, Hanyang Technical High School, and Hanyang University.
Playing career
[edit]Nicknamed "Sirius" and dubbed "Kwanquelme" by his fans, Lee began his professional football career in the K-League by joining the community based club, Daejeon Citizen in 2000. During his stay in Daejeon, he established himself as a fan favorite with his accurate passes and long shots. In addition, his record of 22 goals and 18 assists made him an icon amongst the Purple Crew; however, in July 2006, he left Daejeon and joined its rival club, Suwon Samsung Bluewings.[1] Before joining the Bluewings, he suffered a knee injury in a car crash. He almost retired but came back strong for Suwon and even made a national squad.
After a poor seasonal campaign in 2005, the Bluewings aimed to rebuild their squad during the transfer window, and brought in Lee Kwan-Woo along with others notably Baek Ji-hoon for the 2006 season.[2] This proved to be a vital move, as the Bluewings finished the season as runners-up despite being one of the top favorites. At the start of the 2007 campaign, he was given the armband for the Suwon Bluewings,[3] but lost his captaincy to his teammate Song Chong-gug at the start of the 2008 season.[4] Nevertheless, his keen passing and ball distribution remain invaluable to the Suwon Bluewings.
He is member of 30-30 Club since 25 August 2007.[5]
In 2013, he joined Home United FC as their club marquee player.[6]
Coaching career
[edit]Lee Kwan-woo worked as a youth coach in Suwon Bluewings from 2015 to 2017.[7] And He has served as a head coach since 2018 under Kim Dae-eui who is the football manager of Suwon FC.[8]
