— After consultations with the team doctor and the club management, the head coach of the Shanghai Dragons, Gerard Galland, decided to leave his post and focus on fully restoring his health.

At the moment, Gerard Galland’s condition has improved. “We ask the media to respect the Gallan family’s right to privacy and not be disturbed by comments,” the club said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, in recent weeks my health has not allowed me to fully perform my duties. In such a situation, I considered it right to leave my post. We conferred with management and parted as friends. I believe that the team will be able to come out of the difficult situation that has developed at the moment with honor,” Gallan said.
