KIA Tigers have confirmed the coaches to lead the 2026 season. It is notable that most of the first-team staff are from other clubs.

KIA officially announced on the 31st that it had reorganized its coaching staff. It recruited coach Park Jung-bae, Ko Young-min, Kim Ji-yong, Kim Yeon-hoon, and Ken Takahashi.

The first team will be led by head coach Son Seung-rak, with head coach Lee Bum-ho at the center. It consists of pitching coach Lee Dong-gul, pitching coach Kim Ji-yong, hitting coach Kim Joo-chan, hitting coach Cho Seung-beom, defensive coach Park Ki-nam, operation running coach Ko Young-min, outfielder Kim Yeon-hoon, and battery coach Lee Hae-chang.




Except for coach Kim Joo-chan and Park Ki-nam, there is no coach who has played in KIA. Coach Ko Young-min is famous as a one-club man of the Doosan Bears.

For the Futures team, coach Jin Gap-yong, pitcher coach Ken Park Jung-bae Takahashi, batting coach Hong Se-wan, operation base coach Park Hyo-il and defensive coach Kim Min-woo will guide the team. In addition, the residual group was composed of general coach Kim Seok-yeon, pitching coach Lee Sang-hwa, batting coach Choi Hee-seop, and rehabilitation team coach Seo Deok-won. Future battery coach plans to be hired later.

The reorganized coaching staff will join the closing camp and off-season training starting on the 3rd to guide the team in earnest.




Meanwhile, Kia has decided not to renew its contracts with coaches Lee Jung-ho, Cho Jae-young, Yoon Hae-jin, Jung Jae-hoon, Lee Hyun-gon, Takeshi and Kim Sang-hoon.
