Coach Sutton puts down Lotte's baton and leaves for Dominica on the 30th

Larry Sutton, who put down the baton of the Lotte Giants, left Korea on the 30th.

A club official said on the 30th, "Coach Sutton left for the Dominican Republic through Incheon International Airport this morning."

It has been two days since the official resignation was announced. Lotte said, "Coach Sutton expressed his resignation for health reasons after the KT Wiz match on the 27th. "The club respects Sutton's will and accepts it after much consideration," he said on the 28th. Sutton is an American, but he lived in the Dominican Republic with his wife before accompanying Lotte. His wife and two daughters, who arrived in late June, left for Dominica two weeks ago.

Sutton has recently suffered severe stress from poor performance. Sutton told a close acquaintance that "it's hard to even be in the dugout." Although no specific disease name or diagnosis was found in the hospital examination, it is said that he suffered from panic disorder symptoms.

However, Sutton's resignation is not just a health issue. In fact, it is the resignation of half-hearted and half-hearted. It is true that he was under extreme stress amid the team's poor performance, but the club's pressure is also said to have played a significant role. The protest of the coaches and the reorganization of the coaches in June seemed to narrow Sutton's position. In addition to his performance, Sutton seems to have been under a lot of stress due to pressure from high-ranking officials of the club.

Sutton, who played for the Hyundai Unicorns-KIA Tigers as a player, joined the second division from the final training in 2019 and began his relationship with Lotte. He then took over as the head coach of Lotte's first division in mid-May 2021, recording 53 wins, 53 losses, 8 draws, and a winning rate of 0.500. The contract period, which was previously until 2022, was extended by one year to 2023.

However, he finished eighth last year 64 wins, 76 losses, and 4 draws, and this season, he was competing for the lead until early June, but gradually plummeted. He recently lost seven consecutive games, moving away from the semi-final battle.

According to club officials, Sutton could not say goodbye to the team, but he met briefly with the coaches before leaving for Daejeon on the 28th.

Lotte has decided to make up for Sutton's remaining salary. 스포츠토토
