Reading list: Seoul Director Ahn Ik-soo 'voluntary resignation'..."My role ends here. I'll cheer for you from afar"
After a press conference after the 27th round of the Hana One Q K League 1 2023 against Daegu FC at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 19th, head coach Ahn Ik-soo read the manuscript that he had prepared himself and said, "I think FC Seoul needs to change to develop further. "I did my best to keep my promise with you and my heart's commitment, but I will not achieve what I pursued and drop out," he said. Coach Ahn said in an interview two years ago, "I thought Seoul should be a team that should be responsible for Korean football, and although there were difficulties in relegation, I accepted it with the intention of helping Seoul a little," adding, "I still feel that way, but I think this is my role."

Coach Ahn then said, "I'm sorry that I couldn't achieve what I was pursuing and dropped out in the middle. However, FC Seoul remains unchanged that it should continue to lead Korean football and spread a healthy message. He added, "I will support you as a guardian deity from afar." Coach Ahn Ik-soo said, "I would like to thank the owner of the club who trusted me, the front desk who worked hard to support the team, the supporters who supported the team regardless of bad weather such as rain and heat waves, and the grass manager at the Guri training ground. Lastly, I am sorry and grateful to the players who played for FC Seoul's development and fans," he added.

Coach Ahn Ik-soo took over during the 2021 season and is entering his third year. Seoul's performance in his first season was seventh and ninth last season. This season, he has been competing for the top spot from the beginning and is in fourth place with 39 points (10 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses), but has been in a swamp of no wins in the past five consecutive games. Shortly after the 2-2 draw against Daegu, a cry of "An Ik-soo, get out" continued at the Seoul supporters' seat. https://www.sportstototop.com
