Kim Byung-soo has been appointed as the new manager of the last-place Suwon Samsung Bluewings, the club announced Thursday, filling the vacant role nearly three weeks after former manager Lee Byung-geun was fired.
The winless Bluewings announced Thursday that Kim, the former manager of Gangwon FC, is under contract through December 2024, putting him in the role for the remainder of the 2023 K League 1 season and the entirety of the 2024 campaign.
