Suwon Samsung, relegated to Division 2, appoints coach Yeom Ki-hoon

Suwon Samsung, which fell to K-League 2 (Second Division) this season, appointed coach Yeom Gi-hoon as its 9th head coach. Suwon said on the 9th, “We have decided to entrust the mission of re-entering K-League 1 to Coach Ki-hoon Yeom,” and “Coach Ki-hoon Yeom, who is well aware of the players’ problems and has the will and ability to solve them, will contribute to normalizing the team.” The contract period is 2 years.

The Suwon club explained that after reviewing several candidates, new general manager Park Kyung-hoon selected Coach Yeom as the right person to quickly overcome the biggest crisis since the team was founded, bring the players together, and return to K-League 1. Suwon plans to accelerate the improvement of the team structure by establishing a strong reform plan, starting with the appointment of coach Yeom. Coach Yeom Ki-hoon, who served as playing coach last season, took on the role of acting coach in September last year when coach Kim Byeong-soo was fired after only four months in office. However, in the end, they finished the season in 12th place in K League 1 and were unable to prevent the team from being relegated.

Jeonbuk Hyundai recruits Incheon striker Hernández

Professional soccer K-League 1 Jeonbuk Hyundai signed a three-year contract with Hernández, who played a leading role in Incheon United's sensational team last season. Hernández is a 5-year K-League player who has played in 104 games in the K-League alone, scoring 31 points and providing 17 assists. Even in the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Champions League, where he played for the first time last year, he showed his instinct to score, scoring 5 goals in 7 games (including playoffs).

Hernández's strengths include extremely high speed, dribbling penetration, and powerful shooting. In particular, Hernández has experience playing together with Thiago, who was recently recruited, in Gyeongnam in the 2022 season, so high expectations are being placed on the attack combination and synergy effect of the two players. Hernández said, “I am more excited and my heart is racing than when I first came to Korea. “I think this is the power of the name Jeonbuk,” he said. “We will grow to a more mature level in line with the status of Jeonbuk Hyundai and engrave the name Hernández in the hearts of our fans.”
