Former left-back of Tottenham Mauricio Tarico announced his resignation from the position of assistant coach of the Korean club Jeonbuk Hyundai after being accused of making racist gestures during a game.The 52-year-old specialist worked under Gus Poyet in teams that became K-League champions, but he was sent off the field earlier this month. According to reports, Tarico made a gesture by inserting his fingers into his eyes, which caused outrage.“This is unacceptable behavior, for which there should be no excuses,”club representatives stated.After this incident, Tarico decided to leave the club, noting that he considers it the best decision for all parties involved.Now Jeonbuk Hyundai finds itself in a situation where it needs to find a new assistant, which could affect the team’s preparation for upcoming matches. This incident once again highlights the importance of monitoring behavior and ethics in the sports environment, as similar cases can harm the reputation of the club and the sport as a whole.
