They were in the best group in the North and Central America World Cup qualifiers, but that's just the joy.
Since losing the last Asian Cup to Jordan, Korean football has been a disgrace itself. With a series of ongoing issues, it is now far from finding a head coach.
Jeong Hae-sung, chairman of the Korea Football Association's national team's power enhancement committee, who was leading the process of selecting candidates for the national soccer team coach, suddenly offered to resign. And this has emerged as a variable in the process of appointing the next national team head coach, which is known to be nearing the end.
According to the soccer community on Friday, Chung visited the soccer hall in central Seoul on the day and verbally expressed his intention to step down from the position to an official of the Korea Football Association. If Chung's resignation is accepted, he will leave his post as head of the power reinforcement committee for the first time in four months.
As Klinsmann, who had been controversial since the appointment process, failed as a result, there were doubts about the role of the power reinforcement committee, and the new committee under Chairman Chung's system started with enthusiasm, but the process of finding a new head coach was not smooth and is still ongoing.
He contacted Jesse Marsch (appointed in the Canadian national team) and Jesus Casas (remaining in the Iraqi national team), but the recruitment was not successful.
Since the A match this month, several meetings of the power reinforcement committee have been held, and the number of candidates has been narrowed down from about 10 people, and since the beginning of the week, Chairman Chung reportedly had a video interview with foreign candidates to find the final negotiation target, and the news of his resignation came out suddenly.
Some analysts say that there was a conflict between Chairman Chung and senior officials of the association in the process of determining the direction of the appointment of the director, which may have contributed to Chairman Chung's decision to resign.
In addition, through a KBS report, Kim Do-hoon said, "The association made a proposal, but I refused. I have no intention of taking the helm of the national team." As many had expected, Kim Do-hoon, who does not have a team, was the most likely candidate, but Kim decided not to do so. Coach Hong Myung-bo is more difficult. Not only is it expected that K-League fans will react tremendously, but it is also unclear how much authority the K-League will recognize given that he is a leader who has tasted a bitter taste in the World Cup.
As Kim Do-hoon, the most influential coach, declined, the head coach fell into a mystery again. The appointment of a foreign coach is a long way off, and there are no candidates among Korean players. In addition, the head of the power enhancement committee will step down. If the head of the power enhancement committee is left vacant, the process of appointing the head coach could be disrupted, and the appointment of the head coach could be delayed further, which has been dragging on for more than four months since Klinsmann's replacement. 메이저사이트
The third qualifying round, which is the de facto final qualifying round, will begin in September. Time is running out. However, Korean soccer is constantly struggling in the air. If the situation remains the same as its loss to Jordan in the Asian Cup, Korea's ticket to the North-Central America World Cup will not be easy.
