With Incheon Metropolitan Government operating the Emergency Innovation Committee (front page of November 26 in Gyeonggi Ilbo) due to the relegation of professional football Incheon United to the second division, the replacement of coaches to reorganize the team next season is being delayed.
According to Incheon United on the 11th, interim CEO Shim Chan-gu and Incheon FC Innovation Committee are discussing five candidates to appoint a manager to lead the club next year.
However, two weeks after the inauguration of the innovation committee, the process of appointing a coach has been delayed, and the team has not been reorganized at all. Earlier on November 25, the city launched an emergency innovation committee, saying it would take full-scale innovation of the club, such as preparing a plan to strengthen the power of the Incheon United team and reorganizing the way the secretariat is operated. They put Incheon United’s squad reorganization as their top priority and vowed to complete the replacement of the coach as soon as possible.
In particular, CEO Shim also had a meeting with manager Choi Young-geun on the 5th about his future, saying it is urgent to solve the manager’s problem in order to form a squad to be put into next year’s second division season.
However, Shim has yet to come to a conclusion on whether to retain Choi or replace him after the interview. “We tried to resolve the supervision issue and move on to the next step until last week, but the schedule is being disrupted due to uncontrollable variables,” he said.
As the winter transfer market and off-season training are planned to be held next month, there are many voices that the appointment of coaches should be accelerated. This is because there is no current coach to lead the team, so preparations for the new season, such as player selection, tactical design, and player strategy, have not even begun.
Inside and outside the region, it is pointed out that players to be released and recruited should be selected in preparation for the transfer market, and a full-fledged team management plan should be prepared by preparing a game strategy.
“It is frustrating that we are still reviewing candidates as soon as possible even if we select a coach and prepare for the next season by forming players in accordance with the environment of the second division from next year,” said a soccer official from Incheon. “We need to set up a coach quickly and start preparing for the new season,” he added. 온라인바카라
First of all, the Innovation Committee and others are determined to quickly resolve the issue related to the coach from this week to next week. “We are discussing various candidates considering whether they are consistent with the club’s philosophy, communication skills, and vision to nurture players,” said Choi Dae-hyuk, chairman of the Innovation Committee. “In fact, Choi is also agonizing over various issues as he cannot avoid responsibility for demotion,” Choi said. “I know that time is urgent. We will make a decision and make an official announcement within next week at the latest.”
