Lotte appointed commentator Kim Tae-hyung as the 21st coach on the 20th. A total of 2.4 billion won for three years was announced. 토토 With a down payment of 600 million won and an annual salary of 600 million won, it is the best treatment for active managers.
New coach Kim is a master who has completed verification as a leader. In 2015, he took the helm of Doosan and opened the dynasty by winning the Upset, and by 2021, he had advanced to the Korean Series for seven consecutive seasons. While dominating the squad with strong charisma, players who are good at baseball minimize interference so that they can condition themselves.
After retiring from active duty in 2001, he worked as a battery coach at Doosan, and before being appointed as Doosan's head coach, he was appointed as SK current SSG battery coach and looked into the systems of other clubs. As a proven leader, he is considered the right person to quickly elevate Lotte, which is centered on young players, to the top level.
Head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, I am well aware of the weight of the Lotte manager's position. I would like to thank Lotte fans and Shin Dong-bin, the owner of the team, who chose the manager Kim Tae-hyung. I will repay the expectations of fans who have been waiting for a long time and make results, he said confidently.
The contract was fast-tracked. Coach Kim himself is not the type to measure around, so he tends to say okay if he feels like it. Lee Kang-hoon, CEO of the club, rushed to Seoul on the evening of the 19th and agreed to a contract on the morning of the 20th.
It is observed that there was preliminary coordination to stamp the seal at the first meeting. However, as the club emphasized, it was confirmed that this was the first time that CEO Lee and head coach Kim met. Considering that the group's will was so strong and that CEO Lee pulled out the contract half a day after he came to Seoul, it can be inferred that it was a top-down appointment.
For reference, manager Lee Seung-yeop, who took the helm of Doosan in October last year, also captured the hearts of the owners by directly negotiating.
