Oh Ji-young Requestes Retrial
Pepper Savings Bank, which finished at the bottom of the women's professional volleyball league 2023-2024 V-League, said on the 28th, "We terminated the contract by mutual agreement with coach Cho after much consideration to renew the sluggish team's atmosphere and quickly prepare for next season," adding, "Coach Lee Kyung-soo will lead the team as acting coach until the next coach is appointed. The team will do its best to normalize the team by starting the process of appointing the next coach as soon as possible."
Currently, Pepper Savings Bank has won only three games (28 losses) and gained only 100,000 points in 31 games this season.
Ahead of this season, Pepper Savings Bank recruited Park Jung-ah, a national wing striker, in the free agent market, and nominated Yasmin Bedardt (registered name Yasmin), a proven foreign player, to raise hopes of escaping last place.
However, her disastrous performance set a disgraceful new record of 23 consecutive losses in women's history.
Pepper Savings Bank, which joined the V-League in the 2021-2022 season, was confirmed to be at the bottom (7th) for three consecutive seasons.
Pepper Savings Bank appointed Trinzee in June last year and introduced him as "the right person to lead Pepper Savings Bank based on data-based performance analysis."
From 2013 to 2016, Trinzie served as an analyst and coach for the U.S. women's national team, contributing to the U.S. winning the 2014 World Volleyball Championship, the 2015 World Grand Prix and the 2016 Olympics bronze medal.
In 2021, he led the U.S. national team as head coach of the North-Central and American Caribbean women's championship.
Trinzie also has a history of being a coach for the Canadian women's team in 2019 and a coach for the Canadian men's team in 2022.
However, even under Tringe, Pepper Savings Bank was not at the bottom.
Recently, the problem of bullying within the team has emerged, and Trinzie's control of the team has also come under fire.
In the end, Trinzie left the team with five games left in the regular league.
Pepper Savings Bank should prepare for a court battle with Oh Ji-young along with the appointment of the head coach.
The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) imposed a "one-year suspension" on Rivero Oh Ji-young, who is accused of "bulling his junior," and Pepper Savings Bank said, "We have decided to terminate the contract with Oh Ji-young."
Oh Ji-young signed a three-year total of 1 billion won with Pepper Savings Bank in April 2023.
Even after one year of suspension of qualification is over, there is room for dispute as the contract period remains one year.
Oh Ji-young plans to submit a retrial application to KOVO on the 29th.
It is also expected to file a lawsuit against Pepper Savings Bank to confirm invalidity of the contract. 토토사이트 추천
