Daegu deeply apologizes for causing fans great disappointment and worry about the fact that it remains at the bottom of the league with a performance that is not meeting expectations until the 14th round of the K League 1 in the 2025 season following the last season. 'The club never takes the absence of a manager and poor performance during the season lightly and recognizes it as a serious crisis.' in response to a recent statement from the club's supporters.
Daegu is having its worst time. It fell to 11th place in the K League 1 last year. He managed to stay in the K League 1 stage after going through the promotion and playoffs (PO). I think it's changed this season. He got off to a positive start with two wins and one draw in the opening three games. However, since then, he has been mired in a seven-game losing streak like a lie. In the process, head coach Park Chang-hyun put down the baton. Currently, he is playing under the acting head coach Seo Dong-won. The team has fallen to the bottom of the K League 1. In the end, fans couldn't hold back their anger. On the 18th, supporters issued a statement. After losing 0-1 to FC Seoul, he booed.
The club is operating the team with the top priority to improve the power of the first-team squad, such as reorganizing the coaching staff to supplement tactics and performance. In addition, we are maintaining a field-oriented operating stance so that the team can focus only on the game by strengthening team communication and strengthening the internal cooperative system so that the team can move in one direction. In order to improve performance and avoid sluggishness, the process for the appointment of a new coach has also been carefully carried out, he explained.
We would like to express our deep gratitude to all fans for their unwavering support and support for Daegu FC despite the difficult situation. We will take the reprimand and loyalty sent by the fans seriously, and show the team's change and leap forward with actions. The club said, 'We will do our best to overcome the crisis with our fans and create Daegu FC where we can feel proud once again.'"
The following is the full text of Daegu FC's apology
I sincerely thank the fans who always care for and love Daegu FC, and I am writing this with a heavy heart.
Following last season, we deeply apologize for causing fans to be disappointed and worried about the fact that they remain at the bottom of the league with performances that are not meeting expectations until the 14th round of the K League 1 in the 2025 season. The club never takes the absence of a manager and a lackluster performance during the season lightly and recognizes it as a serious crisis, and we would like to express our opinion on the statement issued in Graziye on May 18 as follows.
▶The club's action to improve performance
Since the termination of the contract with head coach Park Chang-hyun in April, the club has been running the team with the top priority to improve the first-team's power, including immediately appointing head coach Seo Dong-won as acting head coach to promote the team's early stability and reorganizing the coaching staff to supplement tactics and performance.
In addition, we are maintaining a field-oriented operating stance so that the team can focus only on the game by strengthening team communication and strengthening the internal cooperative system so that the team can move in one direction. In addition, the process of appointing a new coach has been carefully carried out in order to improve performance and avoid sluggishness without repeating the acting supervisor system.
▶ Progress and future plans related to the appointment of new supervisors
Immediately after the termination of the contract with the existing manager, the club wanted to set the following standards and appoint a new manager for the appointment of a new manager.
First, a leader with leadership to overcome the current crisis in Daegu FC
Second, a responsible leader who can combine the improvement of the club's constitution with his own tactics and strategies
Third, a heavy leader with managerial experience in K League 1
Based on this, we have been looking for the right person who can be appointed realistically by meeting the conditions for appointment for the coach candidates who can be appointed by the club. However, the reason why the appointment of the director has been delayed so far is that we recognize it as a critical decision that will determine the future of Daegu FC along with the lack of smooth negotiations with the candidate group that meets the criteria we selected.
The club aims to appoint a new manager within the deadline (6/13) according to the regulations, but considering the current team situation, we would like to appoint a manager as soon as possible. Upon the appointment of the new coach, the club will prioritize recruiting players in line with the coach's tactical plans, and will do its best to strengthen the team's composition and power by faithfully providing tactical and strategic support necessary for team management by reinforcing the coaching staff. In addition, we will closely prepare internal and external environmental support systems for smooth and stable team operation to promote developmental team operation in the future.
Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the fans for their unwavering support and support for Daegu FC despite the difficult situation. We will take the reprimand and loyalty sent by the fans seriously, and show the team's change and leap forward through action. The club will do its best to overcome the crisis with fans and create Daegu FC where they can feel proud once again. Thank you.
Cho Kwang-rae, CEO of Daegu Civic Professional Football Team
