"What should I do. You have to accept my fate."
Kim Byung-soo's voice was calm, taking the helm of Daegu, which was in crisis. Coach Kim was appointed as the official head coach of Daegu ahead of the 16th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" between Daegu and Jeonbuk held at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 27th. Coach Kim, who was the general manager of Yeoncheon after leaving Suwon Samsung in 2023, returned to the professional stage after two years. It's 'Sick Water Ball Returns'.
Manager Kim said, "(As of the official announcement date), the contract was made three days ago. I had a meeting with CEO Cho Kwang-rae, and he contacted me the next day. During the meeting, I could feel that CEO Cho was very comfortable. So I wanted to try it"Some people might be envious, but it's a difficult way to say that you're going to be a director. The burden is something that I have to carry until the end."

Daegu is at the bottom of this season's 16 games with only 11 points. In the match against Jeonbuk, which head coach Kim watched from the stands, he lost 0-4 and 3 consecutive games. Coach Kim was appointed as a firefighter in Suwon in May 2023, two years ago, and coincidentally, the situation in Suwon at that time was similar to that of Daegu. At that time, head coach Kim laid the foundation for a rebound by leading an unbeaten run in July and even carried out 'Sharp fighting spirit', but was suddenly replaced in September.
"You have to accept my fate."Coach Kim said, `I threw away the soccer (soldier ball) that I used to play. It's okay if you make a good system, but the professional world doesn't wait. Since it is a time-consuming task, we need to find a simpler way to play soccer according to the current situation. When I'm in Yeoncheon, I've been thinking (study) in my spare time. Rather than sticking to 'Byeongsu Ball', which is represented by organic pattern play and space creation, the plan is to implement tactics that can save Daegu right away. Coach Kim led Gangwon's Final A (6th place) gust in 2019 with innovative tactics.
Assuming that he is going to stay this season, he left room for new attempts during the winter training.

The most urgent thing is to change the atmosphere. Daegu, which was replaced by head coach Seo Dong-won after former coach Park Chang-hyun was fired last month after a sluggish performance, has not been able to win both the latest contents and results. Big and small mistakes have been repeated every game, with the team's flagship Hwang Jae-won scoring an own goal against Jeonbuk. It's a proof that the 'mental' is shaking. Coach Kim said "Isn't it the common point of a team with a bad flow?" It takes time to fix that. The fastest way is victory, too. It is understood that there are many injured people, but I think the injured people should be resolved quickly so that they can have some time."
Coach Kim will begin his managerial duties in earnest starting with the team's meeting on the 29th. Coach Kim, who is famous for not coming out of the coach's office overnight once he entered the analysis, may have entered the 'Save Daegu' mode from the night of the match against Jeonbuk. Coach Kim, who is scheduled to make his debut through a 17th round home game against Gwangju on the 1st of next month, said, `I will not focus on my fame and good soccer. I think all I can do now to accomplish my mission is to do my best."
