History

Jeonnam Dragons was originally founded as Chunnam Dragons on 16 December 1994, and appointed former South Korean international Jung Byung-Tak as their first manager to oversee their first ever league match which took place on 25 March 1995. Chunnam started life slowly with mid-table finishes in its first few years, but recorded their best ever season finish of runner up when Huh Jun-moo was recruited as manager between 1996 and 1998, collecting an FA Cup winners medal during that time.

In 1999, Jeonnam also came runners-up in the Asian Cup Winners Cup, beating J-League giant Kashima Antlers 4–1. They became Korean FA Cup champions for a second straight year in 2007.

On 27 December 2007, Jeonnam appointed Park Hang-Seo as its new manager after former manager Huh Jung-Moo was appointed as Korea Republic national football team manager.

Curiously the team`s classic rival Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors was established the same year.

gollark: FEAR machine learning. I am using a significant fraction of my server's computing power to do stupid things with some memes.
gollark: I'm ignoring the documentation and just blindly copypasting out the parts I need so that I don't have to ship the entire beeologous library.
gollark: ```pythondef transform(data, ops=None): """ transform """ if ops is None: ops = [] for op in ops: data = op(data) if data is None: return None return data```
gollark: Apparently this machine library has reinvented function composition somewhere within its data preprocessing pipelines>
