Heungkuk Life Insurance, which sacked coach Kwon Soon-chan, quickly appointed former head coach Kim Ki-joong as head coach.
New coach Kim Ki-joong graduated from Sungkyunkwan University and has been active as a player at Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance since 1997 스포츠토토. After his retirement, he built a leadership career at GS Caltex, LIG Insurance, and Hyundai Capital, and served as a senior coach at Heungkuk Life Insurance for four years from 2018, contributing to the combined championship in the 2018-2019 season and advancing to the championship match in the 2020-2021 season.
An official from the Heungkuk Life Insurance Club said, “Director Ki-joong Kim, who has rich experience and leadership in the field, was judged to be the right person and appointed him. And we apologize for causing concern to fans and volleyball officials who love volleyball about the recent situation, and Kim I will do my best to support the team so that the coach can show the best performance by quickly picking up the players.”
Coach Kim Ki-joong also said, “I have been with the players at Heungkuk Life Insurance for the past four years. I came back to Heungkuk Life Insurance and took on a new challenge as a manager. I will try to show a good game that can repay the passionate support of the fans. I will,” he said.
Coach Ki-joong Kim watched the game the day before on the spot. He had already been appointed by the club. Command of the team is scheduled to take place immediately from the afternoon of the 6th.
However, the players are already uncomfortable with the appointment of coach Kim Ki-joong. It is expected that it will not be easy for new coach Kim Ki-joong, who was the head coach even during the school violence incident, to put out the fire of the current Heungkuk Life Insurance incident.
