K League 2 club Seongnam FC has appointed a Technical Director to strengthen the club's technical competitiveness and continue its organic player development and performance analysis systems.

On the 9th, Seongnam announced through a press release that it had appointed Lee Kyu-jun as its new Technical Director.

Lee Kyu-jun, the newly appointed Technical Director, stated via the club: "Seongnam FC is already a club with a solid data foundation, an advanced performance analysis system, and an excellent framework for youth development." He added, "Most importantly, we deeply respect Coach Gimhae's dedication and achievements in establishing the team's philosophy and technical direction at a high level."

He further expressed his ambition: "As a reliable partner, we will fully utilize the high-quality systems and technical assets that the club has built so far to create optimal support and synergy, ensuring that the attacking and dynamic football pursued by Coach Kim can flourish perfectly on the field."

According to the club, Lee Kyu-jun is a veteran football figure who has gained extensive experience in both on-field coaching and technical administration. He began his coaching career at Dongbuk Middle School in 1990 and later served as head coach at Jangheon High School, where he discovered numerous national team-level players and coaches including Kim Eun-joong, Bae Sung-jae, Yang Dong-hyun, Moon Sun-min, and Lee Young-jae.

In 2011, he founded Hanam FC to lay the groundwork for an advanced club football model. After working at Korea Open Cyber University, he led the establishment of the Jangwon University soccer team in 2022 and served as its inaugural head coach. Notably, he personally recruited Kim Geon-hee (currently with Incheon United), who was immediately selected for the U-23 national team, helping him grow into a top-tier player. He also led the newly formed Jangwon University team to promotion to the U-League 1 in a short period, demonstrating his capabilities in team building and player development.

He has also built expertise in administrative roles. As a technical committee member of the Korea Football Association, he contributed to discussions on the overall technical direction of Korean football and Je Si-ha-go (CEO) team operations. In 2024, he served as a member of the Technical Study Group (TSG) of the Korea Professional Football League, analyzing K League tactics and match performance.
