(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Chang-yong = A coach and a player left the team without permission, but an unusual thing happened in which the manager was fired.

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea issued an official statement on the 21st and announced, “We have decided to fire manager Seo Nam-won and general manager Yoon Jae-seop to take responsibility for the recent events such as discord within the team and poor performance.”

If there is a conflict between the squad and the manager, whatever the cause, both sides are bound to be responsible, and as a result, only the manager is the victim.

To coach Kim Sani, who irresponsibly left the team and ruined the team atmosphere, the club was infinitely generous.

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea said about coach Kim Sani, “I have declined my resignation and asked him to work hard for the normalization of the team.”

In particular, coach Kim is expected to lead the team as an acting coach from the match against Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 23rd.

It only said that it would take corresponding measures against the main setter Jo Song-hwa, who left without permission.

As coach Kim, who caused a discord with Jo Song-hwa, took over as acting coach, the possibility that Song-hwa Cho would return to the team increased.

As a result, the coaches and players who rebelled against Seo remained on the team, and only the coach left the team.

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea continued to be divided over the past season. A faction was formed within the team around a few senior players.

Former coach Kim Woo-jae gave ambitious young players a chance instead of old players who were unfaithful to training.

Senior players expressed their dissatisfaction with this. Consistent with sabotage play. Anna Lazareva, who was not helped by her teammates, ran in tears.

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea fell to the bottom this season when Lazareva, the best foreign player in the league, left last season.

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea was the lowest in the league in serving receive efficiency last season. He couldn’t receive, so he had a center team, but it was mana.

Relying almost entirely on Lazareva’s ‘one-man show’, he finished third in the league. The fall of IBK Industrial Bank of Korea this season, when Lazareva left, was a planned procedure.

Former coach Kim strongly demanded the trade of some senior players, including setter Jo Song-hwa.

It’s for rebuilding, but it’s because the younger players couldn’t develop their spirits because of the old players.

However, instead of listening to Kim’s request, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea gave up the contract renewal and appointed Seo Nam-won as the new manager.

The faction remained, and the senior players believed they had succeeded in ousting Kim.

No manager can be successful in an environment where players think they can control the manager to their liking.

It was the same with coach Seo, who is known as a ‘deokjang’ on the volleyball board.

When coach Seo made the sub-receive training intense, the complaints from senior players erupted.

During the match against KGC Ginseng Corporation on the 12th, coach Seo called for Operation Time and pointed out to setter Jo Song-hwa, “If you can, toss (overhand). Why do you keep doing it under (toss)?”

Then, Song-hwa Jo answered bluntly, “It’s a mistake” instead of “I understand” without even making eye contact with the director.

IBK Industrial Bank captain and setter Jo Song-hwa did not participate in team training after the away game against Pepper Savings Bank on the 16th.

Coach Sani Kim, who left the team with Song-Hwa Cho and expressed his ‘willingness to resign’, changed his mind and joined the team.

In the meantime, the club front, who should act as a mediator, neglected the problem or took the side of some high-paying players, rather escalating the conflict.

If the boil is not properly removed from the boil, the same situation may be repeated again.

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea avoided the situation by sacking the supervisor instead of facing the problem.

Bright-eyed volleyball fans cannot be unaware of this. As the number of disappointing volleyball fans increases, the league collapses.
