SSG Landers appointed former commentator Park Jung-kwon as the head coach of the Futures.
SSG said on the 27th, "In consideration of the Futures team's group training start and camp schedule, we reviewed the list of leading candidates among the teams that were widely secured in the process of appointing the previous coach to minimize the manager's gap. SSG paid attention to the fact that the new coach Park has been in constant communication with the club even though he has the capacity as a leader and is well aware of the team's development situation. As a player and batting coach at Futures for six years from 2018 to 2023, he has a good understanding of the club's nurturing environment and system, and in particular, he has a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the team's Futures players." 안전놀이터
