Poon Man Chun (Chinese: 潘文俊; born 27 April 1977) is a former Hong Kong professional footballer who played as a forward. He is currently the assistant coach of Hong Kong Premier League club Kitchee.
Club career
[edit]Poon started his career with Hong Kong top flight side Rangers.[1] In 2001, he signed for Fukien in the Hong Kong Second Division, helping them earn promotion to the Hong Kong top flight.[2]
Managerial career
[edit]In 2014, Poon was appointed as the assistant coach of Wong Tai Sin, where he said, "When I first debuted, I had a poor relationship with the media and the class owner. Naturally, my player career was not ideal."[3]
In 2018, Poon was appointed as the caretaker manager of Meixian Techand in China League One, becoming the first Hong Kong manager in Chinese professional football, where he said, "The pace of the Mainland is slow, and I don't have many friends , it's really difficult to adapt. But at that time, I thought of learning from the Mainland and paving the way for my coaching career. I didn't consider whether my income would be more than that of Hong Kong."[4]
In 2019, Poon was appointed as the assistant coach of China League Two club Shenzhen Bogang.[5]
In April 2023, Poon was appointed as the head coach of Rangers.
On 29 September 2023, Poon was appointed as the assistant coach of Kitchee.
Personal life
[edit]Poon's son, Poon Pui Hin, is also a professional footballer who is currently playing for Kitchee.
