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.
