Former coach Cho Won-woo will return to Busan as the head coach.
Lotte said on the 5th, “We recruited head coach Cho Won-woo.”
Cho Won-woo, the new head coach, served as an outfield defense and operational coach at Lotte in the 2011-2012 season, and served as the first-team coach in the 2016-2018 season.
“I would like to express my gratitude to SSG because I was able to leave good memories over the past four years,” Cho said. “I will wear Lotte’s uniform for the third time. I will take good care of manager Kim Tae-hyung so that he can show good results. Lotte has many young and promising players. Based on my experiences, I will help the players grow to the next level.” 안전놀이터
