They survived in the K1/K2 playoffs after comfortably seeing off Suwon Bluewings. Their season was very poor and they deserved to finish 11th. Manager change at the end is most likely what saved them. New manager has come in, Sergio Costa and he will be the only foreign manager in the league but on the back of Poyet's success at Jeonbuk there are high hopes that he will do well despite not having much experience as a number one. The backline has been changed and top scorer Yuri Jonathan has been moved on so the team will look quite different this season. They should have the quality to avoid relegation (12th) with a midtable finish most likely the best outlook for them. Strengths - Veterans Chang-min Lee, Chang-hoon Kwon, and Tae-hee Nam are among the best in the league. Weaknesses - goals were an issue last season with Paulauskas an unknown to the league but he is an international with Lithuania. So far the foreign recruitment looks stronger than last season

Target


Top half finish will likely be the new manager's aim.
