Gyeongnam FC decided to resign on the 7th under mutual agreement with the club. Coach Lee, who was appointed as the 10th head coach of Gyeongnam FC in November last year, tried to turn around the overall part of the team, including the team's re-leap and rebuilding. However, he has expressed his intention to resign voluntarily after feeling responsible for his poor performance this season. The club decided that changes were needed to renew the team's atmosphere and improve its performance. Respecting coach Lee's wishes, he will step down after the match against Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province on the 6th. The club officially announced, 'We deeply appreciate Lee's efforts and dedication so far.
Coach Lee took the helm of Gyeongnam ahead of this season. The professional coach that I wanted so much, even before the opening, there was an offbeat. The team was not formed in the direction that coach Lee wanted. Nevertheless, it cruised early on. However, he failed to overcome the injury variable. The key resources have deviated one after the other. In particular, foreign players who are responsible for the team's attack were unable to play. On top of that, defensive midfielder Lee Kang-hee, who was the core of the midfield, also transferred to Austria-Vin in the Austrian Bundesliga through the summer transfer market. Director Lee was disappointed, but he couldn't stop his student from going to Europe. The squad was reeling greatly. The problem was not over here. A chaotic situation was captured outside the ground. There was a question mark about the club's management.
Nevertheless, coach Lee tried to keep his balance without shaking. The summer transfer market has set the stage for a winning move. I changed the foreign Jinyong. Bruno Costa, Houven Macedo, and Danlei from Porto have been recruited. Coach Lee tried to turn the tables by putting young players in here. However, it was not easy to reverse the once-changed trend. In the end, Lee made a decision. I chose to step down on my own, hoping to change the atmosphere of the team.
Coach Lee led the team to a 1-0 victory over Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, at Cheongju Stadium on the 6th.
Meanwhile, Gyeongnam will switch to acting head coach Kim Pil-jong. The club plans to do its best to stabilize the team quickly after the end of this season. Before the appointment of the next head coach, head coach Kim Pil-jong will play the role of acting coach and lead the team, he explained.
