Gwangju FC

Following last month's wave of coaching changes among K League strugglers, Gwangju FC's new head coach Lee Jung-kyu held his introductory press conference on January 4 at Gwangju World Cup Stadium. The 43-year-old aims to propel the club back to K League 1's Final A group—and ideally the top flight—in 2026, building on established systems while fixing defensive frailties after two lower-tier seasons.
