Jeonbuk Hyundai, which had maintained its title as a prestigious club by recording the most wins in the K-League, began to falter in the 23rd season, and ended up falling to the relegation zone in the 24th season. As it failed to list itself in the lower ranks for the first time since its foundation, it finished the season in 10th place and advanced to the playoffs. How did Jeonbuk Hyundai, which had once dominated the K-League, collapse like this? A lack of supervision From the 17th to the 21st seasons, Jeonbuk Hyundai has achieved its peak season by winning five consecutive K-League titles. In particular, in the 21st season, when Kim Sang-sik was appointed, they won both the K-League and the Korea Cup, lifting two trophies. However, after renewing his contract for 23th seasons following the 22nd season, Kim Sang-sik's tactical detail and orientation began to decline, and he also began to face criticism for his lack of crisis management skills. In the end, he ranked Jeonbuk in the 10th among the 12 teams. Eventually, Kim Sang-sik resigned on May 4, 2023. Dan Petrescu, who was then in charge of the team, also settled Jeonbuk in 12th place, and eventually parted ways with Jeonbuk. There were many concerns about Kim Doo-hyun, who succeeded Petrescu, who did not have much experience as a coach. In the end, Jeonbuk Hyundai ended the season with the elevation playoffs for the first time. Reckless recruitment of players In the 24th season winter transfer market, Jeonbuk Hyundai recruited a number of players who had good form in the previous season. However, the problem was that the recruitment was not made according to the coach's tactics, but only considered their name value. Most of them were the key players from other teams brought with high transfer fees. But they were unable to run the game due to their injuries, and some were used without tactics, believing only in their abilities of the previous season. In the case of foreign mercenaries, which are particularly important in the K-League, Petrasek and Vinicius were transferred to other teams only running 2~3 games in total, and Hernandes showed sluggish performance as Tiago also showed a significant drop compared to the previous season. The attitude of the players in the game Previously, there were criticisms of players who did not play hard or seemed to give up in the face of Jeonbuk's loss, but the problem arose in the game with Seoul. On that day, Jeonbuk suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat against Seoul. After the game it was discovered that three players went up to the club from Jeonju, where the game was held, to Seoul. In addition, captain Kim Jin-soo's disciplinary action for participating in training after drinking and replacing the captain due to immoral attitudes toward other team players or ballboys made the team shake even more. 2024 must have been a more difficult year for Jeonbuk Hyundai and its fans who support the team. Seongnam, which has the largest number of wins after Jeonbuk Hyundai, was demoted in 21 seasons, and Suwon Samsung was demoted in 23 seasons. There is no guarantee that Jeonbuk Hyundai, which had been on the verge of being demoted until the 24th season of promotion and playoffs, will also not be demoted. They should no longer remain in the glory of the past and will have to resolve these problems. Currently, Jeonbuk Hyundai is preparing for the 25th season with its new coach Gus Poyet to make a change. Attention is focusing on what changes will be made to Jeonbuk Hyundai in the upcoming 25th season.
