Seoul E-Land FC will continue to accompany coach Kim Do-kyun of 'Advancement Preacher'.

E-Land officially announced the renewal of its contract with head coach Kim on its official channel on the 11th. Coach Kim, who took over as E-Land's eighth coach last year, is leading the team's heyday with hot attacking football. E-Land decided to renew the contract after judging that head coach Kim is the best person for promotion and challenges for higher goals. Director Kim also readily accepted E-Land's proposal.

E-Land ranked third with the highest score ever in the K League 2 last season under coach Kim Do-kyun. Although he did not achieve promotion on the first promotion playoff stage, he showed his competitiveness against Jeonbuk and made a strong impression.




Director Kim is evaluated as a 'promotion expert' with abundant experience and leadership. In his first year as manager of Suwon FC in 2020, he achieved promotion through the K League 2 playoffs, and in 2023, he led the team to remain in the promotion playoff, achieving results even in the moment of relegation.

He also displayed outstanding capabilities in discovering and fostering prospects. He maximized the potential of young players based on his experience as a coach of the U-15 team, general director of youth, and scouts at Ulsan Hyundai. As a result, Seo Jae-min won the K League 2 Young Player Award for the first time in the club's history last year, and Baek Ji-woong and Byun Kyung-joon, as well as Bae Jin-woo, took off as the main players this season.

E-Land, which quietly strengthened its inner circle amid intensifying competition for promotion, is leading the league with two wins and one draw at the beginning of the season. Four newly recruited foreign strikers are showing off their stronger offense by scoring in all three games. In particular, in the last round, he won a 4-2 victory over powerhouse Suwon Samsung, further raising fans' expectations.




Manager Kim said, `Thank you to the club for proposing a re-signing, and I am happy to continue my challenge at E-Land in Seoul. Unfortunately, he was not promoted last year, but I think he succeeded in building a strong team image. We will do our best to achieve promotion by showing more dynamic and aggressive soccer this year."

Meanwhile, E-Land will try to win two consecutive away games in Incheon on the 15th.
