Jeonbuk Confirm Departure of Title-Winning Coach Poyet
Gus Poyet resigned after winning a league and cup double, citing distress over his assistant's suspension and resignation for an alleged racist gesture, the club said.
- On Monday, Gus Poyet stepped down as Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors head coach after one season, leading the club to a record 10th K League 1 title and a sixth Korea Cup trophy.
- Jeonbuk said the resignation followed Mauricio Taricco's November suspension over an alleged racist gesture; Taricco denies any racist intent and the K League disciplinary committee dismissed his appeal.
- The club said Poyet felt dispirited and burdened by Taricco's resignation, after Taricco had played a key role for 16 years, and Poyet publicly defended his staff, saying `If you touch one of my staff, you have a problem with me`.
- The club announced the resignation two days after the Korea Cup final, with a Jeonbuk official saying Poyet wanted to end his contract with one year remaining and the club respecting his decision.
- Jeonbuk's season included a 22-match undefeated streak, and Gus Poyet, who had hinted his stay would end this year, thanked supporters, saying `I will never forget this one year I've spent with our fans for the rest of my coaching career`.
