Yan Cheng Law (born 24 December 1992) is an Indian professional football coach.[1] He is currently the manager of I-League club Delhi FC.
Career
At the age of 18, while playing for George Telegraph in the Calcutta league, Law was forced to take the D coaching License course by Joydeep Mukherjee, one of the George Telegraph officials, who saw potential in him to become a coach.[2] Despite being made fun of by older men at the course, he eventually obtained the license.[2] However, upon returning to George Telegraph, he was excluded from the team,[2] so turned to coaching full-time with the help of his father.[3]
Calcutta United Club
Law was appointed head coach of Calcutta United Club in the lowest division of Calcutta at the age of 20 through owner Joydeep Mukherjee, who forced him to take his first courses.[2]
By age 26, Law had obtained the AFC A License, the youngest coach to do so.[3]

Aizawl FC
"The club always wants to promote the players of the state of Mizoram and players from the academy, which is fantastic and which I also strongly believe in. If I was also a club owner, I would love to promote the same what Aizawl FC is doing and they are doing a fantastic job. They are the factory of Mizoram football. I am really blessed to be working with such a bunch of talented youngsters. It is a young squad and for them to be performing under this pressure, at this age, is a great experience that many people do not get. It's not easy for these youngsters to cope with but I think they've been doing a good job and I am really happy to be part of Aizawl FC."
