The Hanwha Eagles belatedly revealed the reason for hiring head coach Lee Dae-jin.
On the 9th, Hanwha, which is in the process of spring camp in Arizona, USA, said, “Under the manager Carlos Subero, a foreigner has been the head coach. There was not much difficulty in communication, but it is true that my understanding of the KBO League was relatively less than that of domestic coaches.”
After taking office as new head coach Son Hyuk in November of last year, Hanwha pushed through the need for a domestic head coach through discussions with head coach Subero, and appointed the head coach. Hanwha said, “It was a very quick recruitment of the head coach, and communication between coach Subero and head coach Lee Dae-jin went smoothly through the finishing camp and this spring camp. To promote harmony among the coaching staff and to bridge the gap between the players and the coaching staff. I am having a busy camp day by performing various roles of various head coaches, such as becoming a head coach,” he said.
Head coach Lee said, “I always went through spring camp as a pitching coach, but it’s awkward and new to have camp as head coach for the first time in my life. “Basically, I play the role of looking for supplementary points and sharing the contents while watching training. I also look at the players and check their attitude and atmosphere in training.” 스포츠토토
“I’m communicating a lot with the coach, but I can see that the coach is trying to listen. Unlike the foreign head coaches I’ve been with, I have a lot of knowledge about Korean baseball, so he asked me to actively talk about anything, so I’m going to visit him often and talk.” I’m working hard. During the camp, there will come a time when the players are stressed and struggling, and at that time, I have a lot of conversations with the coaches so that the players can create a good atmosphere.”
Head coach Lee said, “I had a lot of worries after receiving the proposal from General Manager Hyuk Son, but I accepted the offer because I thought that experiencing the season with a foreign coach was an opportunity for me to personally develop. I was able to prepare for my current role by learning . I wanted to try the position of head coach at least once, and I am enjoying my life thinking that building a team as head coach will be a valuable experience for me.”
Lastly, he said, “I am also communicating with the general manager, but he trusts and entrusts the field. I will make sure that the Hanwha Eagles can become a strong team by communicating well with the coaches and players, starting with the coach’s assistant, so that the camp can be successful.”
