Cheonan said on the 20th that `Coach Kim took responsibility for his poor performance and conveyed his intention to resign to the club.' Coach Kim took over as manager of Cheonan City FC last year and scored 11 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses and 43 points to lead the team, which was the lowest in its first year, to ninth place.
However, after much consideration, he decided to voluntarily resign as the team remained at the bottom with 5 wins, 4 draws and 16 losses and 19 points in 25 games without finally overcoming the slump that had continued since the beginning of this season.
Coach Kim said, `I feel responsible for the team's poor performance.' `After the defeat against Busan on the 17th, I thought a lot about it, and I came to the conclusion that my retirement was the way for the team. I sincerely thank the fans, club officials, and Cheonan City officials for their trust and support. We are sorry and sorry that we did not meet the expectations, but we hope that the remaining personnel will unite to overcome the crisis and achieve a successful ending this season."
And "Thanks to you, I am truly grateful for building unforgettable memories for the rest of my life. We hope for your unwavering support for Cheonan City FC." The club decided to accept the coach's intention because it judged that the team needed to change, and the rest of the season will be played by Cho Sung-yong as an acting coach.
