Gwangju FC of K League 1 announced on the 11th that coach Lee Jung-hyo achieved 100 professional soccer game management and 50 wins at the same time.

Gwangju, led by this manager, won 1-0 in an away game against Ulsan HD in the 22nd round of Hana Bank K League 1 held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium the day before. This game was the 100th game that this manager played since becoming the manager of a professional team.

This coach, who took over as the 7th coach of Gwangju in 2022 and took charge of a professional team for the first time, enjoyed a double milestone by winning his 50th game in his 100th match. His winning percentage so far is 50%. 안전놀이터

Gwangju, led by Lee Jung-hyo, who competed in the 2nd division in the 2022 season, achieved both the championship and promotion by setting new records for the most points (86 points) and most consecutive home wins (10 consecutive wins) in K League 2 history.

Coach Lee, who received recognition for his leadership by winning the K League 2 Manager of the Year award that year, led the team to its heyday by leading Gwangju to third place in the 2023 K League 1 season.

Third place is Gwangju’s highest ranking in the first division, and the 2023 season is also the first time they have earned a ticket to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL).

With Hong Myung-bo leaving Ulsan to take charge of the Korean national football team, the manager has become the longest-serving manager among the 12 K League 1 clubs.

This season, Gwangju is in 7th place with 9 wins, 1 draw, and 12 losses in 22 games.

Coincidentally, the match in which this manager achieved his 50th win as a professional was Hong Myung-bo’s farewell match in Ulsan.

Coach Lee, who had said before the match against Ulsan on the 10th that he “didn’t want to be a bystander” when an unusually large press corps of over 50 people visited the stadium, became the “main character” as his team continued its 4-game winning streak against Ulsan with a 1-0 victory.

The coach said of the rare experience of winning a battle of wits with the ‘next national team commander’, “It was just one game out of 22. It was the same one win,” but added, “I’m happy and touched that I was able to promote Gwangju and the players when so many reporters came.” 해외 카지노 사이트
