After winning a 4-0 home game against Samsung in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 11th, Hanwha sacked coach Subero. Recently, in a situation where he is on the rise of two consecutive wins, this news was delivered, raising questions about the timing of the hardship.
This is not the first time the club has contemplated the dismissal of manager Subero. After being appointed as the command tower in 2021, it stayed at the bottom for two consecutive seasons, and this season also failed to get out of the bottom (9th). In terms of performance alone, the decision to sack Subero is not surprising. Accordingly, it is known that they have been contemplating the replacement of the manager internally since last winter.
However, Hanwha’s recent performance was good enough to win 5 out of 6 games before the dismissal of coach Subero. Nevertheless, he decided to resign, passing the responsibility for the sluggish performance this season to coach Subero.
In response, these fans raised their voices, saying, “I hope that the front desk of Hanwha will no longer pass the responsibility for the poor performance to the coach and players, but to feel their own faults and responsibilities and to present a clear direction to move forward.” He then revealed the background of the protest, “We demand that the front desk stop the actions that shake the inside of the players, and create an environment where players who have no choice but to play in front of the fans with a burden in this situation can show stable skills.”

Fans also pointed out the problem of repeated failure to recruit foreign players. In particular, questions were raised about the recruitment of new foreign pitcher Birch Smith this season. Smith started the opening game with Kiwoom on the 1st, but complained of shoulder pain after 2 2⅔ innings and voluntarily gave up. After being diagnosed with microscopic muscle damage, he was away for over two weeks and eventually left Hanwha.
Regarding the unsuccessful recruitment of Smith, fans said, “The club tried to recruit Smith even though he had previous injuries in the United States and Japan.” I asserted that I would be able to digest it,” he reprimanded. He then lamented, “The right to replace foreigners and enormous costs were eventually disintegrated due to the absurd amount of guarantee and complacent contract.”
He also pointed out problems with foreign hitter Brian O’Grady, who is active this season. Fans said, “We recruited O’Grady, whose batting average was sluggish at 10%, based on his experience of playing in the Asian league, and determined that he would adapt quickly to the KBO league.” I’m not facing it,” he said in anger. O’Grady is recording poor results this season with a batting average of 1.25 Lee (9 hits in 72 at-bats), 8 RBIs and 3 runs in 19 games.

After his appointment, coach Choi led the team from 3 consecutive weekend matches with SSG on the 12th, and achieved a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss.
After the sacking of coach Subero, coach Choi calmed down the cluttered atmosphere to some extent. However, fans who are still dissatisfied said, “I couldn’t wait to see the team I’ve been supporting for a long time ruin anymore.”
