Jeon Hae-soo, CEO of Incheon United, expressed his resignation with the responsibility of the club’s first-ever relegation. It has been about six years since the CEO was appointed in 2019.
CEO Jeon Do-soo met with reporters after his team’s 1-2 defeat against Daejeon Hana Citizen in the 37th round of Hana Bank’s K League 1 2024 at Incheon Football Stadium on the 10th and said, “I feel full responsibility for causing all members to go through such great difficulties.”
According to the club, the former CEO expressed his actual resignation through an internal meeting of the club immediately after meeting with reporters, and an official announcement will be made soon at the club level. Although there are variables in the future due to the dissuasion of the owner of the club (Incheon Mayor) or the rejection of the resignation, the resignation is expected to be accepted because his term is until March next year, and his body and mind are already exhausted enough to express his intention to resign several times before. However, considering the appointment of a new CEO, he is not expected to resign immediately and will step down after completing follow-up procedures.
In fact, CEO Jeon Dae-soo was in a mood that was completely determined by his resignation, mentioning his responsibility for the relegation several times to reporters and asking them to continue supporting Incheon’s future. Since it was only close to the team, his eyes were already very red after the meeting with the team after the relegation.
“I was going to make a good club, but I’m sorry that it ended like this,” CEO Jeon Dal-soo said. “I was not smarter than others and lacked a lot, but I worked harder than others for six years. I didn’t neglect a day. However, I couldn’t show good performance at the end, so I have this feeling of regret because I’m a human being.”
Jeon said, “From the moment I assumed the post, I thought I should win people’s hearts and impress them. I thought that would change the club and the performance. Everyone recognized me for my sincere work without being self-interested, and I think I was able to be with him,” and added, “It is not anyone’s responsibility to make all the members suffer such great difficulties, but the CEO and CEO are responsible for everything. I understand that.”
In addition, CEO Jeon Do-soo said, “I thought a lot about what I would do for this society and our fans. I was moved to think about what I could do for citizens as well as for citizens. I wondered what it would be to repay and pay off debts for great citizens.”
At the same time, he urged Incheon to continue supporting the team. “First of all, I hope the players are not hurt. The fans, the front desk, and the citizens are the same,” CEO Jeon Dal-su said. “I am confident that Incheon will make even more new soccer games. I just need to strengthen my physical constitution once more.”
Since taking office in January 2019, CEO Jeon Jeon-soo has been praised for successfully leading the Incheon club during his tenure. He actively appealed to the Incheon Metropolitan Government and the city council, and received favorable reviews for his operation, such as starting the club house, 토토사이트 signing sponsors, and reinforcing other players.
For the same reason, whenever Jeon expressed his intention to resign or his future became uncertain, fans asked him to stay, or sent a truck protest to the Incheon Metropolitan Government that wanted him to stay. However, chances are high that the system will eventually come to an end due to the bitter history of demotion for the first time since its foundation. CEO Jeon said, “Today is not the end but a new beginning for Incheon United.”
