Even in the face of cancer, director Yoo Sang-chul, who led K-League 1 in Incheon, finally dropped the baton.

The Incheon club says Yoo, who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, has revealed his gratitude and repaired it.

Incheon originally planned to join Yu in the new season, but said it did not want to damage the team by fighting the disease.

Incheon decided to elect Yu as the "Honorary Director" and will pay the remaining salary this year.

Incheon has been appointed as an honorary director in honor of director Yoo who made a difficult decision for the Korean soccer legend and team. He will continue to look at Yu's treatment in various ways.

Director Yoo served as the ninth commander in Incheon last May.

In October, when the relegation competition was fierce, he was awarded the fourth Pancreatic Cancer Judgment, but Yoo kept the ground, and Incheon succeeded in remaining in the first league in the 10th place.

Yoo said, “It was a short time, but I got a lot of happy memories in Incheon. I will greet you again with a healthy and healthy face.”

Incheon, meanwhile, has begun a new job.

The first round of training in Bangkok, Thailand, will begin with the senior coach system.
