Attached: Shenhua official announcement
Due to a variety of factors, the team's current results have not met the expectations of the club and the expectations of the majority of fans. As the head coach of the team, Mr. Choi Kang-hee took the initiative to take responsibility and submitted his resignation to the club, and the club decided to accept Mr. Choi Kang-hee's resignation application after research, and decided that the team leader Mao Yijun would temporarily act as the head coach to lead the team to complete the remaining matches at this stage.
Mr. Cui Kangxi became the head coach of Shanghai Shenhua Football Team in July 2019, leading the then troubled Shenhua team to complete the relegation and leading the team to win the 2019 FA Cup. In the 2020 season, in the case of a large number of injuries and serious shortages of personnel, he led the team to the championship group and finally achieved a seventh place result. Shenhua Club sincerely thanks Mr. Choi Kang-hee for his hard work over the past two years and the honor he has brought to Shenhua. I sincerely wish Mr. Choi Kang-hee all the best in his future work and life!
