==Coaching career==
[[File:Adrian Lam.jpg|thumb|left|Lam in 2012]]
Lam became coach of [[Papua New Guinea national rugby league team|Papua New Guinea Kumuls]] national rugby league team in 2007, and was in charge for their [[2008 Rugby League World Cup]] campaign.<ref name="PNG name preliminary squad">{{cite web|url=http://www.rlwc08.com/news/news/archive/2008/08/03/png-name-preliminary-squad.aspx |title=PNG name preliminary squad |publisher=RLWC.com |date=1 August 2008 |access-date=6 August 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100410150913/http://www.rlwc08.com/news/news/archive/2008/08/03/png-name-preliminary-squad.aspx |archive-date=10 April 2010}}</ref> He quit as [[Papua New Guinea national rugby league team|Kumuls]]' coach in 2009 after a dispute with the [[Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League]].  In June 2007 he was appointed inaugural coach of the new [[Queensland Rugby League|QRL]] [[Queensland Cup|Wizard Queensland Cup]] [[Northern Pride RLFC|Northern Pride]] team based in [[Cairns, Queensland|Cairns]]. However, three months later he was offered the position of assistant coach at the 
[[NRL]] [[Sydney Roosters]] under their new coach [[Brad Fittler]]. Lam was released and he left [[Cairns, Queensland|Cairns]] for [[Sydney]] before the [[Northern Pride RLFC|Pride's]] first game.
In 2009 he moved to the [[St. George Illawarra Dragons]] as assistant coach under [[Wayne Bennett (rugby league)|Wayne Bennett]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/lam-organising-sowards-game/story-e6frfgbo-1225809525390| title = Reference at www.heraldsun.com.au}} </ref>

Lam returned to [[Wigan Warriors]] in 2019 as interim Head Coach and later in 2019 made his spell as Wigan coach full time as he signed for another year after [[Shaun Edwards]] opted not to join Wigan for 2020.  In 2020, Lam coached Wigan to the [[League Leaders Shield]] and guided them to the [[2020 Super League Grand Final]] against St Helens where Wigan lost 8-4 after a try scored by the Saints following the full-time siren.

In round 20 of the [[2021 Super League season]], Wigan were defeated at the [[DW Stadium]] by [[St Helens RFC|St Helens]] 2-26 under Lam's coaching. It was the first time in the club's history, since moving to the DW Stadium in 1999, that they had failed to score a single try.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/58287751/|title=Wigan Warriors 2-26 St Helens|website=www.bbc.co.uk|date=20 August 2021}}</ref>

On 31 August 2021 after a number of poor results, Lam announced that he would be leaving Wigan at the end of the [[Super League XXVI|2021 season]], after three seasons in charge.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/58400279/|title=Adrian Lam to leave Wigan Warriors at the end of the season|website=www.bbc.co.uk|date=31 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12215/12395984/adrian-lam-wigan-warriors-head-coach-to-leave-at-end-of-2021-super-league-season/|title= Wigan Warriors head coach to leave at end of 2021 Super League season|website=www.skysports.com}}</ref>
Lam's final game in charge of Wigan came in the first week of the 2021 Playoffs Series against [[Leeds Rhinos|Leeds]] where Wigan lost 8-0.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/sep/23/ash-handleys-try-for-leeds-enough-to-see-off-lacklustre-wigan/|title=Ash Handley's try for Leeds enough to see off lacklustre Wigan|website=www.theguardian.com|date=23 September 2021}}</ref>

On 3 October 2022, Lam coached Leigh in their [[Million Pound Game]] victory over [[Batley Bulldogs|Batley]] which saw the club promoted back to the [[Super League]].  Lam achieved the double in his first full season as Leigh coach as the club also won the [[RFL 1895 Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12196/12710793/leigh-44-12-batley-centurions-seal-super-league-return-with-deserved-win-in-championship-grand-final/|title=Leigh 44-12 Batley: Centurions seal Super League return with deserved win in Championship Grand Final|website=www.skysports.com}}</ref>

On 12 August 2023, Lam guided Leigh to victory in the 2023 Challenge Cup final against [[Hull Kingston Rovers]].
