Lee Alan Johnson (born 27 November 1980) is an English football coach. He was the head coach of India U19 and the assistant coach of India.
In July 2000, Lee joined Crystal Palace and spent five years working as a football development officer before sharing his role and working as a coach within the club's youth academy.
In 2003, while still working for Crystal Palace, Lee became an FA Learning Tutor for The Football Association and instructed courses for professional football clubs, county football associations, colleges and universities.
In July 2006, Lee joined Chelsea and coached within the academy for six years, coaching players from 8 to 14 years old.
In July 2014, Lee signed a two-year contract to become the National Technical Director of Rwanda, making him at the time one of the youngest technical directors in world football. He was responsible for development, management and implementation of the federation's national programmes which include grassroots, coach education, women's and girls' football and elite player development. Since his appointment the federation has introduced youth leagues across the country for both boys and girls. To help support this programme, Lee worked to restructure the coach education programme and developed strong partnerships with The Football Association and the German Football Federation to introduce grassroots and leadership programmes to promote standards and increase the level of coaching across the country. In addition to his role Lee has managed and prepared the U17s and U23s National teams to compete in the AFCON qualifiers and international friendlies. In January 2015, he was appointed the interim National Team Coach following the resignation of the much admired Stephen Constantine who left to become the National Team Coach of India.
