Gwangju FC Manager Lee Jung-hyo, 100th K-League Match, 50th Win

The 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 coach Lee, won 1-0 in the away game against Ulsan HD in the 22nd round of Hana Bank K League 1 held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium the day before.

This match was the 100th match since the manager became the head coach of a professional team.

The manager, who took charge of a professional team for the first time as the 7th manager of Gwangju in 2022, enjoyed a double celebration by winning his 50th match in his 100th match. 카지노사이트 모음

His winning percentage so far is 50%.

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

Coach Lee, who was recognized 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 3rd place in the 2023 K League 1 season.

3rd place is the highest ranking in Gwangju’s history in the 1st division, and the 2023 season is also the first time that 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, he 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 game in which he achieved his 50th win as a professional was Hong Myung-bo’s farewell game for Ulsan.

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

Regarding the rare experience of winning a battle of wits with the “next national team commander,” Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, “It’s just one game out of 22 games.

It’s the same one win,” but added, “I’m happy and touched that I was able to promote Gwangju and the players when so many press corps came.”
