Участник:Will the 'old boys' who led the heyday be forgotten as it is

Players have improved their skills, but many experts say that differentiation resulted in differentiation of different clubs and successful success. In fact, big names such as Kim Eung-ryong, Kim In-sik, and Kim Sung-geun, dubbed "three Kims," competed for the top spot in their own colors, with great coaches such as Sun Dong-yeol, Kim Kyung-moon, and Ryu Joong-il appearing. However, these colors are gradually fading away. Some critics say that "the coaches' colors are hard to see. They have become similar."

Although they have outstanding achievements, there are also criticisms that they give a relatively old image. Some say that they do not fit well with front baseball, and that they have characters that the front office may feel burdened by. In the past five years, their names have been mentioned once every time the coaches of numerous teams have been changed, but none of them have succeeded in returning. Instead, as young leaders have come to the fore, the color of KBO league coaches has changed dramatically.

Despite the sudden vacancy of Kia's managerial post, it has been concluded that innovative and internal personnel management will be promoted rather than external personnel management. Kia filled the vacancy of former coach Kim Jong-kook, who terminated his contract due to unfavorable incident, with new coach Lee Bum-ho, who was born in 1981, as a hitting coach for the first team. It secured continuity of the team by signing a two-year contract and brought in Lee Bum-ho's system early on, which it had been pushing with a "verified sense of leadership" within the team.

KIA had already had to struggle with a limited pool because the other team had already completed the composition of the coaching staff. There was also an internal promotion card, but naturally, proven leaders were forced to go up in outsiders, so some pointed out the possibility of the return of old boys. In fact, KIA was considered a championship power if it was refined well, and it is also true that some argued that experienced leaders were needed to lead a long season.

However, Kia prioritized internal promotion over wild men outside the team, and made the final decision after holding interviews with Lee Bum-ho, who was also ranked the highest in priority. There was no return of former coach Sun Dong-yeol, who was mentioned the most among wild men, and coach Lee Jong-beom, which some fans had hoped for. Some predict that the possibility of his return to KIA will decrease as time goes by.

KBO league coaches have become much younger, and some predict that they will continue to follow that direction. Some managers born in the 1960s remember the early days of the KBO League, such as KT coach Lee Kang-chul, Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung, and LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, but many of them are in their mid-40s to early 50s after 1970. SSG coach Lee Sung-yong was born in 1971, NC coach Kang In-kwon was born in 1972, Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki and Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho were born in 1973. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop and Samsung manager Park Jin-man were born in 1976, and KIA manager Lee Bum-ho were born in 1981.

As the spectrum of age and leadership style has widened considerably, it is also a point to watch in the KBO League this year whether we can see the real war of tactics of coaches. On the one hand, as coach Lee Bum-ho started his career in the 1980s, it is also expected that the so-called golden generation of leaders from the early 1980s will take over the baton. 먹튀검증
