Without enough notice, the coach of Peru’s women’s team has quit!
Korean Kim Cheol Young has decided to resign from his position immediately last week due to undisclosed reasons. The Federation tried to convince him to stay but turned down the discussion and decided to leave for Seoul.
Reports say that Kim left due to personal reasons, ie his son has started military service and Kim is very worried due to the worsening dispute between South and North Korea.
We think he made the right choice: Family Over Career.
At the moment, the Federation is still looking for a replacement. Just like Poland, Peru prefers to hire a foreign coach to help and build a strong program this year until the 2012 Olympics. The women’s team has a very season ahead of them as they are scheduled to compete at the Volleymasters Tournament in Switzerland, the Pan American Cup, the Grand Prix and the Olympic Qualification Tournament.
