Jeong Jung-yong takes the helm of Gimcheon Sangmu.

Gimcheon announced on Saturday that it has appointed Jung Jung-yong as its second head coach.

Chung took charge of the U-20 national team in 2019, leading them to their first-ever runner-up finish at a FIFA-organized tournament. He also led Seoul Eland FC for three seasons from November 2019 to the end of 2022.

If Cho Young-wook, the U-20 runner-up, and U-20 national team players Lee Ji-sol, Uhm Won-sang, and Jeong Ho-jin, who are on the first round of the ’23 Second National Armed Forces Athletes (Military) Program,’ are accepted, Jung will once again have a synergistic team.

“I was appointed in the middle of the season, so I have a lot of responsibility. I will do my best as a coach to achieve the K League 2 championship and K League 1 promotion that all fans are looking forward to.”

Jung will take charge of the team on June 1 and will make his managerial debut on June 4 against the Jeonnam Dragons away from home.스포츠토토

Meanwhile, Sung Hans-soo, who served as head coach for the first half of the 2023 season, will return as an assistant coach and assist Jung alongside the existing coaches.
