As a manager he is the current Head coach of Liaoning FC where his greatest achievement was when he won the 2009 China League One title.
Ma Lin began his football career playing Liaoning FC where he would show excellent ball control, skill and shooting ability as well a threatening heading ability for his height at an early age, which would soon see him win his first league title in the 1985 league season. He wouldn't have to wait long before he was called up to the national team where he was included in the 1986 Asian Games and would establish himself as China's first choice striker throughout the tournament. His international career would see him play in the 1988 AFC Asian Cup, 1988 Summer Olympics and narrowly miss out on qualification for the 1990 FIFA World Cup. In the domestic league Ma Lin with Liaoning FC would dominate the Chinese game where they won several league, cup as well as 1989-90 Asian Club Championship. After winning everything with Liaoning Ma Lin would try his hand in a foreign league and play in the Japan Soccer League with NKK S.C. on loan, however when the loan period was finished he returned to Liaoning until the 1995 league season when he joined Dalian Wanda FC for one season before retiring as a player.
