Now is the era where even coaches are selected through auditions.

Champasak Abniel FC, which is challenging the Asian stage with its entry into the Laos First Division League, will select a new coach through an open audition. This is to find a leader who can realize the team's vision and direction based on a transparent and open operating philosophy, breaking away from the conventional procedures for selecting coaches in the football world.

Champasak Abniel FC will participate in the Lao League 1, the top league in Laos, and will enter the Asian football market with a team primarily composed of Korean players. The club seeks to offer a value beyond simple competitiveness and is proposing a new model of 'football growing with fans' and 'content-based entertainment club.'

This coaching open audition will focus on discovering leaders with various qualities, including tactical capabilities, the ability to communicate with fans, and participation in content planning. Champasak Abniel FC expects to find a leader who can inspire fans and lead the team on and off the field while supporting players in their journey to become 'sports influencers.'

The selection of the coach will be conducted in an open audition format, and the coach selection committee, composed of internal and external experts, will comprehensively evaluate applications and interviews. The club plans to consider not only the candidate's tactical abilities but also their values and vision that can harmonize with the team culture.

Chung Sung-hwan, technical director of Champasak Abniel FC, said, 'This open audition is a journey to find a partner who will realize Champasak Abniel FC's fan-centered philosophy and innovative vision together,' adding, 'We look forward to many challenges from passionate and capable leaders.'

Applicants must submit a free-format resume and self-introduction, and details about the application method will soon be announced through the official Instagram of Champasak Abniel FC (@fcavenir).
