May 20, 2024 - After unsuccessfully negotiating the termination of Nam Ki-yi's contract, the Henan club plans to amend the termination clause on the contract to give Nam Ki-yi a chance to prove himself while also guaranteeing itself enough time and space to make adjustments in the future, according to Soccer Daily.
After the home loss to Wuhan Sanzhen, the management and shareholders of Henan Club had an all-night meeting, and the main direction of the discussion was to terminate the contract of Nan Ji Yi. Before the match, Nan Ji Yi realized that another loss would mean that he would have to resign from the club.

The moment of parting came. After the loss, he was the first to return to the locker room to say goodbye to his players. However, the termination negotiations with Nam Ki Ik failed to reach an agreement that night - Nam Ki Ik's termination clause was seven rounds without a win, four consecutive defeats did not trigger the clause, and he was not willing to voluntarily resign, and a direct termination of the contract would mean compensation for the remaining one and a half years of salary, which is beyond the club's budget for this year.
By May 18, the South Kiichi coaching staff did not relent in the termination fee, and hope that the club will give him a few more games. At this time, the vice president in charge of the first team Li Wei Feng did not evade responsibility, after in-depth exchanges with the club's senior management, that night about the news that he would replace Nam Ki Yee left the team. Eventually the club in the 19th official announcement of Li Wei Feng initiative to resign.
The team resumed training at 4 p.m. on May 19, with no club management present throughout. Training before the team meeting, South Kiichi said, before the four consecutive losses is his responsibility, and now the club trust him, he will continue to lead everyone forward, and then training according to plan. Although Nan Ji Yi stay, but not completely safe, Henan club plans to modify the contract with him on the termination clause, while giving him the opportunity to also guarantee their own sufficient adjustment space.
After Li Wei Feng's departure, Henan's Chinese coaching staff also left in full.

After Yang Chen's arrival, the first thing to do is to work with Nankiichi and start the reinforcement matters during the second transfer.
