On December 29 last year, Heungkuk Life Insurance, which defeated Hyundai Engineering & Construction with a set score of 3-1 (23-25, 25-20, 29-27, 25-17) and increased the possibility of chasing first place, fell into great confusion and lost an important opportunity. in danger of missing out. On the 2nd, general manager Kim Yeo-il and coach Kwon Soon-chan resigned together, causing a big controversy, and even acting coach Lee Young-soo resigned after winning the game against GS Caltex on the 5th.
Heungkuk Life Insurance tried to rectify the situation by announcing the appointment of director Kim Ki-joong, but on the 8th, director Kim Ki-joong did not show up at the IBK Industrial Bank match, and on the 10th, news came that he had finally declined the supervisory position. Heungkuk Life Insurance is currently playing the season under the system of acting manager Kim Dae-kyung.
The problem is that there is only one person left who can serve as a coach in Heungkuk Life Insurance’s coaching staff, Kim Dae-kyung. Acting Kim Dae-kyung said, “I conveyed to the club the story that a new coach should come soon,” but also said, “We talked about staffing with the club. Now, I can’t guarantee that the atmosphere will be better when a coach comes in from the outside, so I think we have to make a careful decision.” He continued, “From the moment I go out, there will be no coaching staff left to play volleyball. For now, I think it remains for the players.”
Acting Kim Dae-kyung continues to play volleyball as coach Kwon Soon-chan and Lee Young-soo were there. However, it is also true that it is difficult to deal with the confusion of the players alone due to the unprecedented situation. Acting Kim Dae-kyung said, “The atmosphere of the players will not be good in your mind. However, it is obvious that the moment he shows off, it will get worse, so he seems to be practicing without showing off,” honestly conveying the current team atmosphere. 토토사이트
As director Kim Ki-joong declined the position, it became more difficult to find a new director. It is inevitable that the acting Kim Dae-gyeong system will continue for a while. Acting Kim Dae-gyeong said, “I don’t think it will be easy. Even if you think it’s not easy, there is no other way. We have a lot left in the season and we have to play.” In order for Heungkuk Life Insurance to challenge for the championship once again, it is expected that the confusion will be resolved with a new command tower.
