Shinhan Bank announced on the morning of the 7th that it has decided to operate this season by converting coach Lee Si-joon to acting coach. Coach Gunathan, who was appointed as a coach in the 2019-2020 season and led the team as an official coach from the 2022-2023 season following the acting coach in the 2021-2022 season, will step down from his position in three seasons.
With only three games since the opening of the season, it's such a sudden decision.
Shinhan Bank, which was called the "Dark Horse" by recruiting the FA Big 3 (Shin Eul, Shin Ji-hye, Choi Yi-sam) and the No. 1 Asian quarter player (Rika Tanimura), has been sluggish for three consecutive losses since the opening of the 2024-2025 season. Therefore, there may be opinions that find the reason for the sudden transition to acting as a supervisor from poor performance.
However, Shinhan Bank clearly stated that the reason for the replacement was not poor performance, but 'Gunathan's health problem'. Shinhan Bank said 'After the recent medical examination, coach Guna-dan asked for an acting supervisor system to identify health problems and quickly treat them, and the club decided to accept it' In other words, coach Koo first checked his physical condition and then asked the club to change the agency system.
Shinhan Bank added, `We will minimize the absence caused by the sudden operation of the acting manager system and prepare well for the rest of the game through the operation of the acting manager Lee Si-joon.' We will provide the best support for coach Gunathan to recover his health, and we will do our best to stabilize the team even though it is a difficult time.' Coach Koo will focus on treatment for the time being.
