Hanwha announced on Tuesday that its CEO Park Chan-hyuk and manager Choi Won-ho voluntarily resigned. Hanwha said goodbye to Carlos Subero in May last year. After signing a three-year contract with Choi, the team replaced the team’s head coach early in the 2023 season, which also did not last long.
Choi, who took the helm from May 12 last year, is set to step down as a coach with 68 wins, 90 losses and six draws. His performance last year was 47 wins, 61 losses and five draws. His performance this year is 21 wins, 29 losses and one draw. After losing the opening match, the Hanwha Eagles recorded seven consecutive wins, eight wins and two losses in its first 10 games, but since then, it has fallen to the bottom of the standings due to repeated losses.

In particular, the team fell to the bottom of the standings due to the loss against LG in Daejeon on the 23rd. Choi announced his resignation to the club after the game on the 23rd. The club accepted Choi’s voluntary resignation on the 26th, and plans to have senior coach Jeong Kyeong-bae take over as acting coach. “We will appoint the next coach as soon as possible to fix the team and continue the season,” Hanwha said.
