The technical director is responsible for planning and managing the team's technology development program and is responsible for general tasks related to the team, such as forming a professional team and managing the youth system.
From 2026, all K-League clubs are obligated to have technical directors. Therefore, the seminar was organized to establish the technical director system early and strengthen working-level capabilities, and about 60 officials from the federation and the club participated.
Spanish soccer leader Julian Marin Bazalo stepped up as a seminar instructor. Julian is an expert in planning mid- to long-term football development programs in various leagues such as Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and Japan.
Based on his own player development methodology developed by the Spanish Football Coaching Academy 'Sarker Service Barcelona', Julian gave a lecture on the core competencies required to perform the role of technical director, including club strategy establishment, game model establishment, training methodology, player scouting and club culture formation.
Julian said "Keeping the club's football level high is the key role of the technical director. Through this seminar, it was very meaningful to discuss how to build and strengthen club identity with K League club officials."
The federation will produce and distribute 'Technical Directors Handbook' to support the efficient settlement of the K-League Technical Directors system and help establish a sustainable operating model for each club.
