A Chelsea manager of the English Premier League (EPL) was fired for sending an inappropriate message containing sexual harassment to a Korean agent.
The Daily Mail reported on the 21st (now Korean) that “Chelsea had fired commercial director Damian Willoughby less than a month after hiring. Why,” he explained.
According to media reports, Willoughby has been confirmed to have sent messages and videos containing sexual content to C&P Sports CEO Catalina Kim, a Korean agent who works as a European football agent.
Catalina Kim protested Chelsea president Tom Glick and Wallerby was sacked after an investigation into the club.
Willoughby sent Catalina Kim sexual text messages in July 2021, such as “Are you naked? Am I naked” and also sent explicit videos. He also offered to arrange a meeting with Manchester City managing director Ferran Soriano.
“It happened before Willoughby was hired, but it’s absolutely against club culture,” Chelsea said. Willoughby will leave Chelsea after a month in office.
