Reporter Lee Jae-sang = The Heungkuk Life Insurance team, which dismissed former coach Kwon Soon-chan, seemed to be suturing the situation by entrusting the baton to Sunseon Girls’ High School coach Kim Ki-joong (48) as a ‘fireman’, but the new command tower may not be able to lead the team normally Abnormal air currents are being detected.
Two days have passed since the announcement of the appointment of new coach Kim Ki-joong, but he did not meet with the players and did not come to the volleyball court to see the team playing the game. There is also a story that his contract has virtually been canceled as question marks have been attached to when he will lead the team.
Heungkuk Life Insurance suffered internal troubles in the past week. The club sacked former manager Kwon Soon-chan, who led the team to second place in the first half of the 2022-23 season, on the 2nd for an incomprehensible reason that “the direction does not match the team.”
Head coach Lee Young-soo, who served as acting manager, left the team after directing the game against GS Caltex on the 5th. The club hurriedly announced the appointment of new coach Kim Ki-joong on the 6th, but somehow the new command tower did not appear at the IBK IBK match in Hwaseong on the 8th.
The club explained, “The contract (with coach Kim Ki-joong) was not finalized,” but it was a change that could not be easily understood in a situation where the official announcement was already made until the appointment of the command tower.
Inevitably, coach Kim Dae-gyeong, who was acting as an agent for the IBK Industrial Bank match on the 8th, led the team, but the atmosphere within the team was not bright.
In response to a question about new coach Kim Ki-joong, coach Dae-gyeong Kim said, “I haven’t heard anything about it and haven’t met yet.”
According to a volleyball official, Heungkuk Life Insurance left the team from head coach Kwon Soon-chan to head coach Lee Young-soo, and the entire team was in great shock.
It is known that there was a big backlash between the players and staff when it was suddenly announced that coach Kim Ki-joong would take the baton. 토토
As a result, the appointment of coach Kim Ki-joong, who was originally planned to lead the team after meeting with the players, fell into a labyrinth. In the worst-case scenario, there is a possibility that the contract with director Kim Ki-joong will be canceled.
With the incomprehensible hardship, the sophistry of the new general manager, and the strong opposition within the team, attention is paid to whether Heungkuk Life Insurance will be able to deal with the internal conflict.
Shin Yong-joon, head of Heungkuk Life Insurance, said, “(between the former head coach and coach Kwon Soon-chan) there was a difference of opinion about the management of the team, not the appointment of players. I watched YouTube and heard what the fans were concerned about.” Trust in the leadership has fallen to the bottom.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which was cruising with Kim Yeon-kyung, who returned this season, is writing a surprising twist on its own than most ‘end of the line’ dramas.
