Overview
- Jeonbuk announced Monday that Poyet is stepping down two days after winning the Korea Cup final to complete the season.
- His lone campaign delivered a record 10th K League 1 title and a sixth Korea Cup, marking the club’s second domestic double.
- Jeonbuk said Taricco’s resignation weighed heavily on Poyet, noting the assistant’s 16-year partnership and central role in training and tactics.
- The K League disciplinary committee had suspended Taricco for a gesture it deemed racist and rejected his appeal, while Taricco denied racist intent.
- Poyet publicly objected to the treatment of his staff last week and, according to a club official, sought to end his contract despite one year remaining.
