Kim Hyun-seok (57), coach of Chungnam Asan FC in the K League 2, who debuted as a professional coach at a late age in his late 50s, is the main character. Manager Kim is currently aiming for direct promotion by leading Chungnam Asan to the second place (14 wins, 9 draws, 9 losses, 51 points) in the league. The gap between points and No. 1 FC Anyang (54 points) is not large, so it is worth expecting a turnaround in the remaining four games of the league.
In particular, Chungnam Asan is overwhelming the competition team with a stronger appearance toward the end of the season. In five games held in September, he swept 13 points with four wins and one draw and an unbeaten run.
Thanks to his performance, Kim Hyun-seok was chosen as the winner of the `flex director of the month' award in September. It is the first time since Kim's debut that he has received the 'Director of the Month '. In addition, he became the second K League 2 coach to receive the 'Coach of the Month' award for the second time this season. In April, former manager Yeom Ki-hoon of Suwon Samsung received the 'Director of the Month'.
Coach Kim is said to have completely changed the team's color with his unique aggressive tempo soccer. In the 29th round home game against Gyeongnam FC held on September 1, the team won a big victory of 3-0 to open an upward trend. It was tied 1-1 against Ansan on September 14, but it started with a 2-1 win at home in the 31st round against the Jeonnam Dragons on the 21st, followed by a three-game winning streak to Cheonan (2-0 win) in the 32nd round and Anyang (1-0 win) in the 33rd round.
Thanks to this, Chungnam Asan rose vertically to the second place in the league and aimed for the first place. Although his dream of becoming No. 1 was canceled after losing 0-3 in an away game against Gimpo on October 5, he is still aiming for No. 1 in the second place.
Thanks to this performance, Kim was selected as the winner of the 'flex K-League Coach of the Month' by the Korea Professional Football Federation in recognition of his outstanding leadership and leadership. In particular, Kim is the first coach in the history of Chungnam Asan to receive the 'Coach of the Month' award. Head coach Kim will receive commemorative trophies and injuries produced by the Korean Professional Football Federation.
Meanwhile, flex is the only HR platform company in Korea to sign an official HR partnership with the federation in K-League starting in 2023, with various joint marketing activities such as integrated advertising in K-League stadiums and 'flex Director of the Month' and 'K-League Academy HR Training Course'.
