History

On 14 April 2014, the E-Land Group officially announced the foundation of a professional football club based in Seoul. On 17 July 2014, the club appointed former Vancouver Whitecaps manager Martin Rennie as head coach.[2] He was sacked on 15 June 2016.[3]

On 24 June 2016, the club appointed Park Kun-ha as head coach. He resigned on 9 January 2017 and was replaced by Kim Byung-soo.[4]

On 5 December 2017, Kim Byung-soo resigned from the club and In Chang-soo was announced as the next head coach for the 2018 season. He became the first Argentine manager of K League.[5] After the 2018 season, In Chang-soo left the club as his contract expired and Kim Hyun-soo was promoted to the head coach from his scout status.[6] However, he resigned on 22 May 2019 and Woo Sung-yong replaced the position as a caretaker. For the 2020 season, Chung Jung-yong has been appointed as the manager with a three-year contract.

In January 2022, the club announced that they would move to Mokdong Stadium, as their main stadium, the Seoul Olympic Stadium, is under reconstruction.[7]
