The NC Dinos terminated their contract with coach Kang In-kwon on the 20th.

The NC Dinos decided to dismiss coach Kang along with the confirmation of elimination from the semifinals to renew the atmosphere that has been stagnant due to poor performance. For the rest of the season, Team C coach Gong Pil-sung will be the acting head coach.

The club wanted to avoid an organizational culture where it became customary to change the head coach and start anew. In particular, with the aim of creating a sustainable strong team, he consistently trusted and supported the field with the importance of continuity and continuity of the system or leadership, but as the elimination of the 5th round was confirmed, it was time to focus on preparing for the 25th season through mood reform, so he terminated his contract with coach Kang.

Coach Kang In-kwon led the team for 22 seasons as NC's acting coach on May 11, 2022, and was appointed as a full-time coach by signing a three-year contract from 23 to 25 seasons after the end of the 22nd season.

He recorded 197 wins, 197 losses and seven draws in 401 games (including acting) with a winning rate of 0.500.

NC plans to select the next director for various candidate groups.

In addition, the club will inspect the entire organization, starting with the change of the head coach, and prepare baseball to give fans excitement and expectations again.
