Incheon held a press conference at the Incheon Football Stadium on the 19th to report on the activities of the 2024 Emergency Innovation Committee. Incheon, which suffered its first relegation since its foundation by finishing the 2024 season at the bottom, entered an emergency system immediately after the end of the season. CEO Jeon Moon-soo stepped down to take responsibility for the relegation. Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok immediately launched an emergency innovation committee headed by Choi Dae-hyuk, head of Sogang University's Future Innovation Research Institute, vice chairman of the Korea Football Association's ethics committee. The Emergency Innovation Committee was formed to discuss and establish plans for Incheon to move forward until the appointment of the new CEO. Mayor Yoo said, "In line with the name of '飛' at the time of its inauguration, I will take this opportunity to help Incheon become a strong and stable club leading the league, not a 'remain king'"The reason for the organization was revealed.
The Emergency Innovation Committee reported that it discussed Incheon's constitution improvement and reform plans, promotion of K League 1 and mid- to long-term strategic plans, club management evaluation, supervisory evaluation items, orientation goals, club organization evaluation and improvement plans after a total of five meetings from November 25. Based on the team's budget and composition ratio, a comparative analysis with the past relegation team was conducted to closely grasp Incheon's problems. It also revealed a key project. The project is '1-2-3'. It will be promoted within a year, advanced to the top split in two years, and advanced to the club competition hosted by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) within three years. It has also come up with evaluation criteria for the appointment of coaches that match the project and match the newly established core values of the club. It even planned mid- to long-term goals, such as strengthening the connection between Incheon's youth system and the first team. Chairman Choi said, `We have coordinated opinions on various issues with the principles of neutrality, objectivity, and expertise with the aim of deriving improvement plans to overcome the demotion situation.'
It cannot be said that the improvement plan of the Emergency Innovation Committee guarantees Incheon's promotion to the first division. However, in order for Incheon to get better, a plan such as this improvement plan is needed. The problem is the continuity of the new representative and the Emergency Innovation Committee. It is not known how far the new representative can accept the guidelines and reform plans delivered by the Emergency Innovation Committee. Chairman Choi said "I think the new representative can come and see the contents and expand it further in terms of capabilities. We are only laying the groundwork. I think it is the role of the new representative to utilize and implement it." Coincidentally, the Emergency Innovation Committee will end its activities with the fifth meeting before the press conference, Choi said himself. I'm not sure if the new representative will accept the emergency innovation committee's plan.
There is still no conclusion on the personnel issue, which is known to have been focused on by the Emergency Innovation Committee. He also remained silent about the appointment of representatives and directors. As for director Choi Young-geun's future, he recommended replacement rather than confidence," he replied simply. The Emergency Innovation Committee reportedly selected a group of candidates for the coach according to the standard and delivered it to the head of the club. However, nothing was confirmed at the press conference after the last meeting. Asked if he could share the values and philosophy of the Emergency Innovation Committee with the new representative, he began with such a vision. You will see the recommendation, and I think it will have a good impact by expanding it further."
Emergency and innovation are important. In the face of the crisis of relegation for the first time in the club's history, Incheon must go up again and change the cause of the relegation. But time doesn't keep waiting. The team will return from vacation on the 26th, and will have to leave until training in Thailand on January 2. The direction and personnel management of the club are now at a loss. In order for Incheon to fly again, preparation time and clear planning are essential.
