According to the KCC club on the 9th, coach Jeon has decided to lead the team until the 2024-2025 season according to the existing contract.
Coach Jeon often made remarks hinting at the possibility of resignation during this season.
Immediately after beating the regular league champion Wonju DB with 3-1 victory in the semifinal playoff, he said, "I was criticized by the fans a lot. There were several truck protests and I was told to step down, but I will do my best to step down."
Based on these remarks and attitudes, some observers said that Jeon, the only coach in his 60s among the 10 team coaches, will step down regardless of the results of this season.
However, he seems to have changed his mind while writing the first drama of "Winning 5th place in the regular league."
A KCC official said, "The contract with manager Jeon Chang-jin was due next season. With one year left, both the club and the manager decided to stay the same."
KCC, which has been actively played by national team players such as Choi Jun-yong, Heo Woong, Song Kyo-chang, and Ra Gun-ah under the former coach system, beat Suwon kt, which Heo Hoon held in the championship match.
It has regained hegemony for the first time in 13 years since the 2010-2011 season, when Jeon Tae-pung and Ha Seung-jin (retired).
As a former coach, he stood at the top of the league again for the first time in 16 years since the 2007-2008 season.
"The days of training a lot like before and fighting with mental strength have passed," coach Jeon said after confirming his victory in the championship on the 5th. "The coach's role is to pack well-made players and make them play well."
