Hong Myung-bo, former Ulsan Hyundai manager, has officially been appointed as the new head coach of the South Korean national soccer team. On July 10, he explained his decision to accept the position after the match against Gwangju FC at the Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium. This announcement comes amid the controversy surrounding his appointment, which some have dubbed 'Run Myung-bo.'
The Korea Football Association (KFA) completed the formal appointment process through a written resolution by the board of directors from July 10 to 12. Out of the 23 board members, 21 voted in favor of Hong's appointment. Written resolutions are used when there is a significant gap until the next regular board meeting or for urgent matters.
With the board's approval, Hong officially begins his duties as the national team head coach.
Focus on Building Coaching Staff
One of Hong's first tasks is to assemble his coaching staff. He plans to travel to Europe to interview potential foreign coaches who can help analyze and understand global soccer trends.
Earlier, during a press conference held at the KFA headquarters in Seoul, Lee Im-saeng, the KFA's technical director, mentioned that the KFA proposed a contract condition to Hong. This condition included appointing two European coaches to strengthen the team's tactical aspects.
