The SSG Landers will conclude its partnership with Futures Team Manager Park Jung-gwon (45) at the end of the 2026 season.

On the morning of the 15th, the SSG Landers officially announced, "As the contract term for Futures Team Manager Park Jung-gwon has expired, we have decided to conclude his tenure as manager."

The club explained that this decision is "a measure aimed at new plans for the upcoming season and an overhaul of the development system." It further added, "We extend our deep gratitude for the efforts of Manager Park Jung-gwon, who has dedicated himself to discovering and developing promising players while leading the Futures Team, and we plan to cheer on his future endeavors."

Manager Park Jung-gwon, who was famous as the "Autumn Man" during his playing career, took charge of the Futures Team starting from the 2025 season and focused on uncovering young talent. However, he left room for improvement in terms of performance this season. The SSG Futures Team finished the 2026 season in sixth place, the lowest position, with a record of 41 wins and 60 losses (a .406 winning percentage) in the Northern League of the Futures League.

Meanwhile, with the change in the minor league manager, the SSG Landers has begun a full-scale overhaul of its farm system. The club plans to swiftly complete the selection of new coaching staff and accelerate preparations for the next season.
