After returning to the clubhouse by taxi after drinking with an acquaintance on the 25th of last month, A caused a street tree crash while driving himself to return home early on the 26th. Mr. A reported to the club on July 30 that he was caught drunk driving, and the club terminated the contract with Mr. A.
Daegu apologized on social media on the 1st. Daegu informs the club that a fitness coach belonging to the club voluntarily reported the fact that he was caught driving under the influence of alcohol. 'We are deeply responsible for the unsavory incident at this critical time, and sincerely apologize to our fans for any concern this has caused.'
And 'The club held a disciplinary committee this morning to inform you that it has decided to terminate the contract for the fitness coach who caused a stir by drunk driving. He also immediately informed the Korea Professional Football Federation after confirming that the fitness coach was driving under the influence of alcohol, and emphasized that the federation is reviewing measures in accordance with K-League regulations and that the club will strengthen thorough education and management for all members to prevent such a recurrence.
In December 2018, the Professional Federation revised the reward and punishment regulations to strengthen the level of disciplinary action for drunk driving, and to increase disciplinary action for concealing drunk driving without reporting it to the club.
In addition, it is striving to prevent drunk driving and strengthen punishment through continuous anti-corruption education and disciplinary action before registration is canceled.
