Coach Lee Young-min is the first to lead a team for four consecutive seasons in Bucheon's history. During the previous three seasons with Bucheon, he played 114 games, recording 42 wins, 30 draws, and 42 losses. During this period, Lee Young-min led the team to achieve 100 wins in his home league (2023.08.14. 2023 Season 26R (vs Gyeongnam), 100 wins in his away league (2023.03.12 2023 Season 3R (vs Cheonan), and 200 wins in his team's career (vs Busan 2023.05.13. 2023 Season 13R (vs Busan)).

After taking over in Bucheon in 2021, Lee's first promise was to 'develop a team called Bucheon.' Lee, who said he would not just take victory, but to develop the team in the long term, led the team to the playoffs for the second consecutive year in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. And now he wants to continue another promise with Bucheon toward higher ground.

It is often difficult to locate Lee Young-min during a training session in Bucheon. This is due to Lee's coaching style in which he demonstrates himself by playing with players and kicking a ball. Lee's Bucheon has been reborn as a so-called "promising restaurant" that fosters promising players by producing the winner (Ahn Jae-joon) of the K League 2 Young Player award last season.

Thanks to this, Bucheon has one of the best performances in recent years, and is looking even higher this season with Lee Young-min. Meanwhile, Lee also emphasizes the importance of love and communication for his fans. The fan meeting "Lalala Overtime," which was held after the home game against Cheonan on June 11 last season, started with Lee's opinion. At the event, Lee also had time to communicate with fans.

Coach Lee Young-min, who agreed to extend the contract, said, "First of all, I would like to thank the owner, the representative, the leader, the club and everyone."

"I'm really grateful that I can look at the same place as the team called Bucheon and be with the same philosophy. My first commitment since I took office was to develop a team called Bucheon. I haven't forgotten that heart and have always tried," he said.

Finally, he added, "Based on my efforts for not a short three years, I will now try to go to a higher place with Bucheon."

Regarding the contract extension, Kim Sung-nam, the general manager of Bucheon, said, "I have great trust in Lee Young-min. The team will also look higher up with Lee Young-min and work hard to help him lead Bucheon Football." Meanwhile, Bucheon in the 2024 season, led by Lee Young-min, will begin with a showdown with Cheonan at Bucheon Stadium on March 2.
