CEO Lee Jun and General Manager Oh Dong-seok of Suwon Samsung, a professional soccer team that was relegated to K-League 2 following finishing in last place in the 2023 season, expressed their resignation to the group.
A Suwon Samsung official said on the 6th, “CEO Jun Lee and General Manager Dong-seok Oh have expressed their resignation to the group.”
As top executives expressed their resignation to the group, attention is focused on how Suwon Samsung, which must start the 2024 season in K League 2, will be reorganized in the future.
Suwon Samsung suffered a slump throughout this season and eventually finished the regular round with 33 points (8 wins, 9 draws, 21 losses) and was relegated to K League 2.
Suwon Samsung replaced coach Lee Byeong-geun with coach Kim Byeong-soo during the season and appointed Ki-hoon Yeom as acting coach to try to remain in K-League 1, but the turnaround did not occur.
Suwon Samsung’s relegation surprised not only the fans but also the entire professional soccer world as it was the first K-League 2 relegation in the club’s history.
In an interview following the 38th round match once morest Gangwon FC held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 2nd, Suwon Samsung Acting Manager Yeom Gi-hoon said, “The players did their best, but I was lacking, so this situation came out. I think my shortcomings are the biggest.” .
