There's no movement for the next Doosan manager? → What quiet means is

The Doosan Bears are likely to watch 'Cho Sung-hwan's acting system' for the time being. There is no rush to find the next coach.

Acting Cho Sung-hwan's start is well received. Doosan's head coach Lee Seung-yeop voluntarily resigned on the 2nd and left the steering wheel to acting Cho Sung-hwan. Cho Sung-hwan went 2-4 in his first parking. This is the result obtained by hiring a large number of rookies and second-tier players. The prevailing assessment is that the color was clearly expressed.

Now, the first concern is the next move. I wonder if Doosan will find a formal manager, watch acting coach Cho Sung-hwan, or definitely promote acting coach Cho Sung-hwan to head coach.




It is best to appoint a new coach if there are quite a few remaining games or if the team is judged to be good.

In 2014, LG manager Kim Ki-tae resigned on April 23, the very beginning of the season. About three weeks later, LG appointed Yang Sang-moon. LG's history of going straight to the playoffs in the previous season remained intact. Yang Sang-moon took office from the bottom of the 10-23 record. LG finished the season in fourth place this year, writing the all-time backward driving myth. It even succeeded in setting up the semi-playoff.

Doosan is in a different situation this year. Although he has experienced fall baseball in 2024 in 2023, some of the main players are clearly on the decline. Generational change is needed in almost all positions except captain Yang Eui-ji. The gap between fifth and fifth place widened to 7.5 games. Although the season has not yet turned around, the possibility of a dramatic rebound is not high. Immediately after taking office, acting Cho Sung-hwan, built-in in the first division, Yang Seok-hwan, Kang Seung-ho, and Cho Soo-haeng to the second division. This measure symbolizes the direction of the Cho Sung-hwan regime. Rumor has it that the club is also positive about this.

However, the sooner you remove the tag 'temporary' the better. This is true in terms of leadership, squad control, and atmosphere stabilization. This is because acting Cho Sung-hwan is testing young players such as Park Joon-soon, Kim Joon-sang and Lee Sun-woo, but it gives the impression that acting Cho Sung-hwan is also being tested by the club. Acting manager Cho Sung-hwan has already played for Doosan for more than five seasons. In fact, he is a proven leader. 'I'll watch it for nowThere is a great deal of difference between accepting the position of ' and the conviction that 'the rest of the season will go as it is'.

Last year, Hanwha appointed head coach Kim Kyung-moon on June 2. Hanwha came in eighth, 4.5 games behind fifth. Hanwha was also eighth in the final round. However, he is flying high at the top, threatening LG, the No. 1 player this season. The continuity of leadership began to show its true value in earnest. Doosan also needs to strengthen its new leadership if it wants to pursue the future as soon as possible.
