The NC Dinos made an unconventional decision to part with coach Kang In-kwon ahead of the last eight games of this season. It was at the time when the fall baseball was decided to be eliminated, but there were also reactions that it was a little unexpected as the remaining games were just around the corner.
Lim Sun-nam, NC's general manager, said "There are not many games left after the elimination from the semifinals, but it is time to prepare for the season when we have to finish it and prepare for next season." It's not a lot of games, but I'm going to renew the atmosphere, wrap up a little more, and use it as an opportunity to prepare anew.
It means that he will quickly build a bridge for next season. However, NC has not been able to announce its next coach for more than a month since the replacement of the coach.
Regarding the direction of the appointment of the next director, Lim said, `There are no specific standards. There are no such conditions as previously being a coach or putting himself in NC. There's nothing special about foreign directors"The club has a consistent goal and direction. The goal is to create a strong team that can continue to perform well. The idea is to reduce dependence on FA and foster it to ensure continuity. I hope you can agree with this philosophy and make it together" he once explained.

While NC is taking a quiet step, there is a lot of talk about the next Charyeong Tower. Along with internal promotion, there are sounds about the appointment of outside personnel.
In fact, NC is approaching the appointment of a director from various angles, including internal promotion and appointment of external personnel. The possibility of foreign supervision is also open. In the case of internal promotion, reputable figures are being discussed within the team. It is evaluated that the understanding of NC is also high. In the case of insiders, it is highly likely that it has been put on hold for now as it was enough time to have an interview.
Multiple people are also mentioned as outsiders. Rumors are rampant from people with ties to NC to personnel with experience as a head coach. However, the fact that the decision has not yet been made leads to the interpretation that there are some obstacles to announcing the interview or the decision.
Some clubs often have manager or coach interviews at the end of the season or in the middle of the postseason schedule. In this case, even if the decision is made, the announcement is deliberately delayed if the team is playing fall baseball.

If the person NC wants is in LG, it is highly likely that the appointment of a coach after the interview will accelerate. On the other hand, if it is not a one-sided four-game winning streak, it will not be easy for Kia and Samsung to be appointed in October.
