Doosan Bears will start hiring a new coach on the 13th.

Doosan ended the 2025 season with former coach Lee Seung-yeop resigning in June and acting coach Cho Sung-hwan. Immediately after the end of the pennant race, the schedule of the Japanese Education League and the Chuseok holiday overlapped. Doosan's general manager Kim Tae-ryong personally inspected the education league and returned to Korea last week.

Doosan will now focus on appointing the next head coach. Up to four candidates were identified, including acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan. It is known that veteran leaders who are former active legends and have experienced both KBO League wins and national team coaches are not included. It is said that there is a possibility that he/she may have declined.




Doosan looks like it will end with a quick decision. The follow-up process will be quick as long as the date of the interview is confirmed by coordinating the schedule with the candidates on the 13th. The team will post the interview results and the owner will make the final decision.

Doosan's 12th manager is expected to be unveiled as early as the playoffs.

The most eye-catching candidate is Cho Sung-hwan, the acting head coach. He actively used young players such as Park Joon-soon, Lee Yoo-chan, Oh Myung-jin, Park Ji-hoon and Ahn Jae-seok, inducing fair competition. Kang Seung-ho and Yang Seok-hwan, who were built-in main players, also used shock therapy properly, such as visiting the second division. The biggest plus factor is that he has a better understanding of players than anyone else because he has been a coach for six seasons at Doosan. Continuity of leadership is guaranteed.

Doosan is in an atmosphere that does not press the 'Winnow' pedal at least in 2026. In other words, no significant power reinforcement will be made this winter.

In that context, it is not easy to sign a big-name coach with a solid career.

In short, Doosan failed to produce any batters from the national team list announced on the 12th. On the other hand, right-hander Kwak Bin, left-hander Choi Seung-yong, and reliever Kim Taek-yeon came out evenly. This is the point that clearly shows where Doosan should aim.
