Following Li's retirement in 2009, he joined Dalian Aerbin as assistant coach. He also managed Dalian Aerbin's reserve team from 2012.

In 2017, Li was appointed as the reserve manager of Dalian Transcendence. He was promoted to first team manager during the season.[7] In the 2018 season, he was officially appointed as manager [8] but was sacked soon due to poor performances.[9]

In 2019, Li returned to the renamed Dalian Yifang as reserves manager, but left the team not long after Benitez's arrival.

In 2022, Li sided with the newly established Dalian Duxing in the Chinese Champions League,[10] and promoted into the China League Two by the end of the season.
