Jeonnam head coach Lim Gwan-sik takes the vacant K-League 2 Ansan Greeners helm.
Officials in the transfer market said on the 9th, “Coach Lim’s move to Ansan has been confirmed.” “Many candidates have been on the list, but it has been concluded that Coach Lim, who has various experiences in the domestic stage, will rise to the command tower.”
Coach Lim, born in 1975, started in Jeonnam in 1998, went to Busan in 2004, and returned to Jeonnam in 2007, ending his active career in 2008. In 2012, he entered the door of leadership through coaching Gwangju, and in 2013, he coached Honam University, a college football dark horse. Since then, he has served as Jeonnam and Sangmu coach, and has been working as Jeonnam head coach this season under the coach of Minister Lee.스포츠토토
He is also famous as a leader who studies, such as obtaining a doctorate in soccer from Honam University Graduate School in 2017.
Coach Lim has been considered a very suitable candidate for Ansan, which is in dire need of a fresh start, as he has gone through all kinds of hardships on the domestic stage.
Ansan is indicted for receiving 40 million won from an agent under the condition that former coach Lim Jong-heon was employed at a Thai professional club from 2018 to 2019, in exchange for selecting two Korean players. Ansan sacked former manager Lim Jong-heon in June after allegations were revealed. Then he was looking for a new head coach.
Ansan is only 12th out of 13 teams with 4 wins, 4 draws and 15 losses in 23 matches this season and 16 points.
