Henan FC coach Nam Ki-il (50), who is continuing his challenge in the Chinese Super League (CSL) apart from the K-League, is under pressure to resign. This is due to poor performance that has continued since last season. Already in the region, Woo Jin-gui (64, China) former Shanghai Shenhua coach is expected to take the helm after Nam is replaced soon.

Chinese media Sohu Dotcom said on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) that Nam's position is in jeopardy through an article under the title, "There is a possibility that Nam will be dismissed from Henan, and that Woo Jin-gui, who led Shanghai in the past, will be appointed as Henan's next head coach along with the players he previously coached."

The media said, "Heonan lost 2-3 against Qingdao West Coast on the 1st. After the game, fans of Henan began to call for Nam's dismissal," adding, "Coach Nam, who has not won for four games since the opening of the CSL this season, is in crisis as his position falters."

"If Nam is replaced from Henan, Henan is expected to appoint Woo Jin-gui, who led Shanghai in the past. Woo has had a successful leadership career by leading Shanghai and Qingdao Fc, and is also good at leading teams in the CSL. In particular, his tactical style is very practical and will be suitable for Henan at the moment," he added.

The media continued, "If coach Woo Jin-gui takes the helm of Henan, there is a high possibility that he will recruit Chao Winging, who he coached in Shanghai. Chao Wing announced his retirement, but it will be of great help if he comes back and joins Henan," adding, "Jin Shunkai and Xue Feng Fei can also be recruited. They are currently having difficulty securing time to play in Shanghai."

When Nam took the helm in January last year, he took on new challenges in the CSL. After taking the helm, Nam had high expectations for a showdown between Korean head coaches in the CSL along with Choi Kang-hee, Shandong Taishan, and Seo Jeong-won, Chengdu, and Longcheng.

However, Nam's position faltered just three months after he took the helm as he had no win in six games since the opening of the last season, and he also suffered a five-game losing streak since April, putting strong pressure on him to resign. Since then, however, he has maintained consecutive wins and ended up in eighth place. However, the team has lost ground as it has had no win in four matches since the season's re-opening. Based on calculations from the end of last season, the team has had no win in eight matches (three draws and five losses).

Nam retired from active duty in 2010 and took the leadership path. He started his coaching career with Gwangju FC in 2011 and succeeded in being promoted as an acting coach in 2013, and officially took the helm from 2015 in recognition of his contribution. 토토사이트

Since then, Nam, who took the helm of Seongnam FC in 2018, has promoted him to the first division in a year. In recognition of his leadership, he took the helm of Jeju United (currently Jeju SKFC) in 2020 and won the second division and succeeded in promoting the first division. At that time, he was nicknamed a "promotion preacher." Nam, who left a deep footprint in the K-League for 10 years, later took the helm of the team in January last year.
