Korea Livestock Cooperatives Appoints Competition Chairman Jeong Hae-seong as New Power Strengthening Committee Chairman
Looks like work on selecting the next national soccer team coach will begin immediately.
Jeong Hae-seong, the current head of the competition committee, was appointed as the chairman of the Korea Football Association's National Team Strengthening Committee, which will be in charge of selecting the next soccer team coach.
The Football Association held an executive meeting on the 20th and announced that it had decided to entrust Chairman Chung with the position of Chairman of the Power Strengthening Committee. 카지노사이트탑
The Power Strengthening Committee is involved in the overall management of national teams at each level, including the appointment, dismissal, and renewal of leaders for the men's and women's national teams and national teams for each age group 18 years or older.
Chairman Chung leads the Power Strengthening Committee following former Chairman Michael Müller (Germany), who resigned along with former national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
The immediate task left for Chairman Chung is to find the men's national team head coach, which has become vacant amid the worst chaos in history.
Previously, the Football Association dismissed former coach Klinsmann, holding him responsible for the poor performance and elimination in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup.
The national team must immediately play the 3rd and 4th games (21st and 26th) against Thailand in the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifier during the international match period (18th to 26th) in March this year.
If the appointment of the next coach is delayed, at least an interim coach must be selected to lead the national team only in the A-match in March.
Leaders such as Ulsan HD Coach Hong Myung-bo, Jeju United coach Kim Hak-beom, Pohang Steelers coach Kim Ki-dong, U-23 (under 22) national team coach Hwang Seon-hong, and former Gangwon FC coach Choi Yong-soo are being mentioned as interim coaches, but all of them have teams in charge of Hyundai, so the appointment process is ongoing.
Difficulties are expected.
On this day, the Football Association also appointed 10 new power reinforcement committee members.
The new power reinforcement committee members include Gimpo FC coach Go Jeong-woon, Soongsil University coach Park Seong-bae, commentator Park Joo-ho, former Gwangju FC head coach Song Myeong-won, Sejong Sports Toto coach Yoon Deok-yeo, Gangwon FC coach Yoon Jeong-hwan, Mungyeong Managing Director Lee Mi-yeon, QMIT CEO Lee Sang-ki, and former Vietnam head coach Lee Young-jin.
The national team coach, Jeon Gyeong-jun, is the head of the competition committee of the Professional Football League.
The Power Strengthening Committee will convene its first meeting on the morning of the 21st.
After the meeting, he will hold a press conference to reveal his inauguration feelings and national team management plans.
Chairman Chung played for Korea First Bank and Lucky Goldstar as a player, and then served as a coach for Jeju and Jeonnam Dragons in the K-League.
Afterwards, he assisted coach Guus Hiddink at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and became known as a person who contributed to the Korean national team's semifinals legend.
He served as head coach for coach Huh Jung-moo's national team during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and in 2017, he served as head coach for former coach Uli Stielike's national team.
He also served as the Football Association referee chairman and competition chairman.
