Kim Sa-ni (40), acting coach of IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, will eventually leave the team.
On the 2nd, acting coach Sani Kim announced his intention to resign voluntarily and decided to leave the team prior to the away game with the Korea Expressway Corporation held at the Gimcheon Gymnasium in Gyeongsangbuk-do.
On this day, acting coach Kim Sani said, “I feel responsible for this situation and I have to reflect. I will step down from today’s match for the last time.” He said, “It’s not something that will come up like this, but I think it’s right to step down when I think about how I did something wrong and how the players are having a hard time because of me.”
Earlier, on the 16th of last month, acting captain Jo Song-hwa and the team left the team without permission and expressed his resignation. As a result of this, former manager Seo Nam-won and general manager Yoon Jae-seop were sacked, and a strange picture was drawn in which acting Kim, who was the center of trespassing, fills the vacancy.
When it was pointed out that the club’s decision was unreasonable, acting Kim blamed former manager Seo Nam-won for his actions, saying, “I had no choice but to leave the team due to the verbal abuse of former manager Seo Nam-won.” However, there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation of verbal abuse, and this eventually turned into a boomerang and returned to acting Kim.
As the criticism grew stronger, acting Kim said, “I also have ‘achievements’ that I have accumulated so far,” and said, “I want you to consider the choices I had to make.”
However, fans have already turned their backs on him, and volleyball players have also begun to turn their backs on acting Kim. Starting with GS Caltex manager Cha Sang-hyun on the 27th of last month, other team managers refused to shake hands with acting Kim.
In the end, acting director Kim announced his intention to resign voluntarily after 12 days of taking on the role. During this period, acting Kim led a total of 3 matches and lost all of them 0-3 except for the 3-0 win against Heungkuk Life Insurance.
