KBO's Eagles team decides not to re-sign manager Kim Kyung-moon

The Hanwha Eagles announced Saturday they will not bring back manager Kim Kyung-moon after his three-year contract expires at the end of this season. Kim first took over the Eagles in June 2024. Last year, he guided the Eagles to their first Korean Series since 2006, but they lost to the LG Twins in five games.

I am really sorry to our fans that we have lost so many games," Kim told reporters at Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon, some 140 kilometers south of Seoul.
