On December 20, Suwon FC, which lost its coach for less than a week, finally ushered in a new "leader", who was Kim Eun-jung, who led the South Korean U20 team to create the "myth of the semi-finals" in this year's Argentina U20 World Cup. The 44-year-old Kim Eun-jung is a well-known "super substitute killer" in South Korean football, who started his career in Daejeon in 1997 and has since stayed with Vega Tai Sendai in Japan, FC Seoul in South Korea, Jinde in Changsha in China, Jeju United in South Korea, Gangwon FC and Pohang Iron Man in South Korea. In 2014, he returned to Daejeon, where his dream began, as a player and coach, and chose to retire at the same time. In 2015, he joined the coach of the South Korean Belgian Second Division-invested Tubis Club, and later became the first coach.
In 2017, he began to work as an assistant coach with Coach Kim Hak Beom for the South Korea U23 team, and followed him to win the Asian Games in 2018 and the U23 Asian Cup in Thailand in 2020. In 2021, he became the chief assistant coach under Jin Hefan. In 2022, he was hired as the coach of the South Korean U20 team, and led the team to win the third place in the U20 Asian Cup and the fourth place in the U20 World Cup, and cultivated a large number of new players. Due to his characteristics of nurturing new talents, Suwon FC finally chose him as the team's new manager, which is also the first time that Kim Eun-jung has coached a professional team as a K-League manager. According to the plan, Kim will start to inspect the team, and then tap into the development of young players while the transfer market calls for the "old department".
As the season came to an end, the teams began to work hard to organize their lineups. In addition to the abandonment of some players of average quality or not quite in line with the team's tactical system, some core players whose contracts have expired are also busy renewing their contracts with the club. On December 20, FC Seoul and Daejeon Asiana Citizens of the K1 League officially renewed their core foreign players. FC Seoul has signed Brazilian winger Willian of Ota Asiana Citizen in the name of an official transfer. Willian joined the club at the start of last season and played 33 games, starting 17 of them and coming off the bench in 16, scoring eight goals and providing two assists. But his goals were all extremely crucial, including classic battles such as the defeat of Suwon Samsung and the Jepyong Ulsan Hyundai.
After returning to Daejeon at the end of his loan term, William is looking forward to renewing his relationship with Seoul!He was very happy after signing with the team, saying, "I am very happy to continue to fight with FC Seoul, the fans are very enthusiastic not only for me, but also for my family. I want to continue to play my part in the team and repay the trust that people have placed in me."
In addition to William signing a contract with Seoul as he wished. Gangwon FC, which was relegated successfully, also renewed the contract with Montenegrin central defender Jiang Tuzhi, who joined the team for the second time. Jiang Tuzhi's real name is Marco Tucci, after coming to Gangwon in the summer, he showed tenacious fighting spirit, and determined to contribute to Gangwon FC relegation, so he changed his name to "Jiang Tuzhi", he played 18 games last season He undoubtedly became the first target of Gangwon FC to renew his contract in the new season, and was also selected for the Montenegro national team to compete in the European preliminaries. After renewing his contract with the team, Jiang Tuzhi said, "I have been looking forward to this moment with Gangwon again for a long time, thank you to the coaching staff, teammates and fans who trust me, and I will repay your trust with my efforts." ”
Finally, let's take a look at Lee Jae-seong's performance. In last night's Bundesliga "weekly double round", Mainz, who are fighting for relegation, faced the mighty Dortmund away. In this game, the Mainz coach lined up a 3421 formation, and this time he put Lee Jae-seong in the starting line-up. And Lee Jae-seong's performance did not live up to his expectations. The South Korean, who was active throughout the game, did not score or assist, but completed 35 of his 39 passes and almost took a long-range lead in the second half. In the end, the two sides drew 1-1, and Lee Jae-seong, who played the whole game, got the third highest score in the team after the game. This draw also put the team out of the relegation zone temporarily.
