Lee Young-jin (; born 27 October 1963) is a South Korean football manager and former player. He mostly played for Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso (renamed LG Cheetahs in 1991 and Anyang LG Cheetahs in 1996). He is currently technical advisor of South Korea national football team.
Lee Young-jin made his debut appearance in the South Korea national team on 23 May 1989, in a 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Singapore.
He represented South Korea at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, 1994 FIFA World Cup, 1990 Asian Games and 1994 Asian Games.
Lee started his coaching career as a player-coach at Anyang LG Cheetahs (renamed FC Seoul in 2004) in 1997. He also worked as an assistant coach in Şenol Güneş from 2007 to 2009.
On 22 December 2009, Daegu FC appointed Lee as manager.[1] In the 2011 season, the club improved on previous season by finishing in 12th place, but the board decided that they terminated his contract.[2]
On 24 November 2014, Lee returned to Daegu, which was a second division team at the time.[3] He advanced to the promotion playoffs as the runner-up in the 2015 regular season, but failed to be promoted to the first division after losing to Suwon FC. On 12 August 2016, he resigned from Daegu due to poor results in the 2016 season.[4]
In 2017, Lee became his former teammate Park Hang-seo's assistant and coached Vietnam national teams with him.
