Today, news came from the Qingdao team that head coach Wu Jingui has decided to resign. After yesterday's 0:3 defeat to Shenhua, Wu Jingui's words at the post-match press conference revealed his intentions, Our situation this year is very unsmooth, everyone has seen that we have encountered a lot of problems, the players have made their best efforts, and everyone is working the field. The main problem may still be the problem of the coaching staff, and if you want to adjust, you may only have to adjust the coaching staff. ”
Like Hebei and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletics, Qingdao also encountered a relatively serious financial crisis, and the team's salary arrears were as long as 8 months. Two days before going to Suzhou, the team held an internal meeting, when some players said that if the team's eight-month unpaid salary problem was not solved, it would not enter the Suzhou division on December 9, which was originally scheduled to be. Later, the club paid a month's salary, and the team arrived in Suzhou on December 10, a day later than originally planned, and Qingdao was also the last team to enter the Suzhou division.
The long-term salary arrears have affected the morale of the team a lot, and the team's performance is not good. After the end of this round of competition, Qingdao only accumulated 7 points, ranking at the bottom. In the past period of time, many friends have advised Wu Jingui not to do it, not to let this team ruin his own name, but he always insisted on standing with the team, hoping to lead the team out of the predicament. Wu Jingui also tried to mediate between the club and the team members, and some team members said, "Wu Guidance can actually leave us alone, he does not point to this job at all to make money and support the family, but he has always insisted and helped us mediate, which is quite difficult and very touching." ”
After yesterday's fiasco to Shenhua and Qingdao suffered ten consecutive defeats, Wu Jingui felt that he was no longer able to help this team, so that this team could improve and change, so he made the decision to resign. "In any case, I would like to thank the players, the club, the investors, the media and the fans, and the Qingdao municipality for their support. This decision was made mainly after playing Shenhua, and we saw the gap between the team and the strength of Shenhua. We felt that the coaching staff could no longer improve the players, and our coaching staff entered a bottleneck and there was no way to solve the team's problems. The players are not easy, in such a difficult situation, have been supporting the work of the coaching staff, maintaining normal training, and fighting for the club and the city of Qingdao. I would also like to thank investor Mr. Wang Zekai for his investment and support to the team and the club over the years, and for giving our coaching staff a platform to show. I would like to thank the Qingdao Municipal Government, the Sports Bureau and the Football Association and other functional management departments for their concern for the club and the team. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult for our coaching staff to lead the team to continue to improve and move forward, so I decided to resign as a coach and wish the team a better future. ”
