Xie quits as club coach over remarks
Print Edition
Xie Hui has resigned as head coach of Chinese second-tier football club Nantong Zhiyun after his random comments about Chinese football at a private meal were made public in a secretly recorded video.
“I decided to step down after careful consideration, and this hard decision leaves me feeling guilty for being unable to see out the season with my team,” said the 46-year-old on Sunday.
“As a professional soccer coach, I should have been more careful about my words and behaviors,” he added.
His resignation has been accepted, according to a statement released yesterday by Nantong Zhiyun, which suspended him last Wednesday after a video emerged online showing Xie, at a meal with other people, criticizing some Chinese football clubs’ insane investment.
“I simply want to expose their ignorance about football,” he said in the video.
Xie said on Sunday he was completely unaware of being video-recorded when he made the remarks under the influence of alcohol. “I drank too much at the meal yesterday, and had no idea that an ill-intentioned person sitting at the opposite side of the table video-recorded my talks secretly and published them on the Internet,” he said.
