Amid the news that Hwaseong City (Mayor Chung Myung-geun) has appointed Cha Du-ri (43), a former national soccer player, as the new coach of Hwaseong FC, some claims such as morality are controversial.
He cites morality as a problem in appointing a director. According to more than one local media, Cha Du-ri, the nominee for director, has been filing for divorce for 11 years and is embroiled in a legal dispute over an affair with another woman.
An official from the Gyeonggi Provincial Sports Council said, “Whenever a leader of each sport is selected, civil society’s eye level standards such as fairness, qualification, and high morality are increasingly emphasized as important essential factors,” adding, “It adds to the controversy over the coach’s nominee in that it is a professional team that desperately needs support from citizens.” 온라인카지노
As Hwaseong FC is a civic club that is operated with considerable taxes from the city, it should be verified from various angles and approached carefully in the composition of the team, including coaches and coaching staff.
Hwaseong FC, which has been noisy since before the launch of the professional club, is waiting for approval from the board of directors of the Korea Professional Football Federation on the 29th. If it gets approval from the board of directors, it will be the 14th professional club in the K League 2 if it goes through the process of paying 500 million won in K League 2 fees before next year’s regular general meeting. Hwaseong City Council will also finalize the budget for Hwaseong FC’s professionalization at the end of December.
Hwaseong FC participated in the K3 League last season and won the championship under former coach Kang Cheol, and this season, it recorded 16 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses under coach Joo Seung-jin, ranking second after Siheung Civic Football Team.
