Former national team coach Kim Kyung-moon recently conducted an interview with the club as a candidate for the new Hanwha Eagles coach.
The professional baseball Hanwha Eagles are accelerating the process of appointing a new manager. The Hanwha team recently conducted interviews with manager candidates, and it was confirmed that former national team coach Kim Kyung-moon was among them.
Hanwha General Manager Son Hyeok said on the 31st, “We recently selected candidates for director and conducted interviews with about 3 to 4 people,” and added, “Director Kim Gyeong-moon was also one of the candidates, so we also conducted an interview. However, we are not at the stage where we can say that someone has been confirmed,” he said.
At the same time, he added, “We plan to complete the appointment process with a new CEO as soon as possible so that there is no long gap in supervision.”
Former coach Kim led the national team to win the first and last Olympic gold medal in the history of the Korean baseball team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He will continue to lead the national team in 2021.
In addition, he is a master of 896 wins in a total of 1,700 games in the KBO League for the Doosan Bears from 2004 to June 2011 and the new team NC Dinos from August 2011 to June 2018.
Although he has not won the Korean Series, he has been runner-up four times, and in the new team NC, he has led the team to a strong team for four consecutive years since his second year of joining the first team.
Hanwha is looking for a new head coach after coach Won-ho Choi voluntarily resigned on the 27th due to poor performance. Hanwha, which received great expectations after recruiting veterans Ryu Hyun-jin and Ahn Chi-hong last winter, created a sensation by winning seven straight games in the early part of the season. However, Hanwha, which had been on a losing streak since April, fell to last place on the 23rd. Accordingly, former director Choi and former CEO Park Chan-hyuk voluntarily resigned. However, just before the resignation of the manager and CEO, Hanwha started to rise and is currently in 7th place with 5 consecutive wins, and is only 2.5 games behind NC in 5th place, which is the Maginot line for advancing to the fall baseball season. As the team is on the rise, if a new coach is appointed quickly to stabilize the team, it will not be impossible to advance to fall baseball, which was the goal before the season. 온라인 슬롯
