Professional baseball KIA suspended coach Kim Jong-guk (pictured) from his duties on the 28th, two days before the start of training camp in Australia. This is because it was confirmed that Director Kim was investigated by an investigative agency on suspicion of receiving bribes.
A KIA team official said on this day, “We are awaiting the results of the investigation related to Coach Kim’s alleged bribery. “We decided that Director Kim could not perform his role normally, so we suspended him from his duties,” it said. The KIA team learned through a tip on the 25th that Coach Kim had been investigated by the prosecution. The club had a meeting with Manager Kim on the 27th and confirmed this once again. It is known that Coach Kim's charges are unrelated to the recent case of an independent baseball team executive receiving a large amount of money in exchange for joining a professional team. The KIA club plans to decide on Coach Kim's future after observing the results of the investigation. It was decided to leave the spring camp in Canberra, Australia, to head coach Jin Gap-yong. 안전 토토사이트
Due to the suspension of Coach Kim, KIA has been preparing for the season in a turbulent atmosphere for the second year in a row. Last year, three days before the opening of the regular season, it was revealed that then-KIA general manager Jang Jeong-seok demanded kickbacks during the free agent (FA) contract process for catcher Park Dong-won (LG). Afterwards, the KIA club held a disciplinary committee, dismissed former general manager Jang, and apologized to the fans. 메이저 토토사이트
