(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) For 16 years, he has been a leader. It also led to the Korean series. The last figure of such a command tower is bitter. Hong Won -ki (52) has lowered the Kiwoom baton. It is hard due to sluggish sexuality.
This season, raising is having a difficult season. Before the start of the season, it was classified as the ‘weakest’. Immediately after the opening, it seemed to stay in the middle of the mid -term. But the ranking dropped soon and stayed in 10th in the first half. There was also 10 consecutive defeats in the middle. The first half was finished with 27 wins, 3 draws and 61 losses. The odds were barely over 30 %.
The shocking news of the All -Star brakes flew. Hong’s hard news. In addition to home directors, Koh Hyung -wook and Kim Chang -hyun’s coach withdrew together. The sluggishness is considered a reason.
Of course, the command tower of the field is not forced to take responsibility for poor grades. The same is true for most sports. However, it is important that Hong has played the season in the situation when he is all cars and guns this season. It is not the responsibility of Hong that Kiwoom did not have a competitive squad.
Hong, who resigned from active duty in 2007, joined the newly founded Heroes’ Power Analyst. In 2009, he began his full -fledged leader as a first -class coach. Afterwards, he served as a first -team defensive coach and chief coach in 2020.
And finally in 2021, he finally became the command tower. In the first year of his appointment, he succeeded in entering the postseason with the team in fifth place despite the sluggishness of foreign players and the occurrence of injuries.
The following year, he led the team to third place in the regular season, and defeated KT and LG in the fall baseball and stepped on the Korean series. Although he was only runner -up by being blocked by SSG, he proved his abilities in the short -term war. In the end, he succeeded in re -contracting for three years.
Since then, the team’s power has weakened as the main leaders such as Lee Jung -hoo and Kim Hye -sung entered the major leagues (ML) and the main axis of Choi Won -tae, Park Dong -won, Kim Tae -hoon, and Cho Sang -woo. In the meantime, grades naturally fell.
However, it is true that the power of the club is not properly achieved due to the weakening of the power. However, the responsibility for falling grades is that Hong’s resignation is withdrawn.
It is a command tower that has been a leader in Heroes for 16 years and led the Korean series. He also led the team for the longest of the Heroes franchise headquarters. It is very bitter to exit the command tower. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
