General manager Shin Tae-yong will serve as a helper and help the club develop and strengthen the team management of coach Jeon Kyung-joon. Shin Tae-yong, who played as a one-club man when he was a player, has been with Seongnam's history of numerous championships, including Seongnam's first three consecutive K-League losses. He also led Seongnam Ilhwa's team from 2008 to 2012, winning the Asian Champions League in 2010 and the FA Cup in 2011.
After serving as the coach of the South Korean Olympic team and the U-20 national team, he experienced the World Cup stage as the head coach at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, creating Kazan's miracle. Until early this year, he has gained extensive experience on the international stage while coaching the Indonesian national team.
The father and son will breathe in one team. Shin Jae-won, Shin Tae-yong's son, is currently playing for Seongnam. He has one assist in seven games this season. Shin Jae-won, who made his professional debut with FC Seoul in 2019, went through Suwon FC and settled in Seongnam in 2023.
Seongnam remained at the bottom of the K League 2 last year, but is ranked second (15 points, 4 wins and 3 draws) as the only undefeated team this season. However, Shin Tae-yong, the general manager, is still unfamiliar with Seongnam's K League 2. Seongnam was the best prestigious club to win three consecutive K-League titles in Ilhwa.
Shin Tae-yong, the head of the team, said, `Seongnam FC has always been an unforgettable team since his days as a player. Given the club's history, I don't think the current position is appropriate. Based on his experience so far, I will play a role that can help the club and the current team so that Seongnam can go beyond promotion to where it should be" he said.
