Coach Hong Myung-bo (55), the head coach of the national team, went to the inaugural press conference, his first official schedule since returning home.
Coach Hong Myung-bo held an official inauguration press conference at 11 a.m. on the 29th at the soccer center in Jongno-gu, Seoul. This is the first official press conference since Hong Myung-bo was appointed as the official head coach of the national team with written consent from the board of directors of the Korea Football Association (KFA) on the 13th.
Coach Hong Myung-bo was on a flight to Europe for the first time since his inauguration on the 15th. He said that his name was the appointment of a foreign coaching staff, and that he could hold meetings with key players of the national team if the schedule allowed him.
At the time, Newsis delivered an interview with Coach Hong Myung-bo at the airport. “The most important part of this trip is to appoint a foreign coach who will lead the national team for the next two and a half years. Through meetings with them, I decided that it would be better to make a decision after hearing about my vision for soccer and my understanding of Korean soccer,” Hong said.
Coach Hong Myung-bo returned to Korea on Saturday, a day later than scheduled, citing aviation circumstances in the country. The KFA did not disclose the exact timeline and contact information on the coaching staff’s appointment process. 토토사이트
However, Hong Myung-bo revealed that he had interviews with Kim Min-jae, Lee Jae-sung and Hwang In-beom, starting with “captain” Son Heung-min. As such news spread, there was a constant question among soccer fans.
This is because Tottenham and Bayern Munich, where Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae belong, were already scheduled to come to Korea due to the schedule.
In fact, Son stepped on the ground in Korea on Wednesday, three days after Hong Myung-bo returned home. In other words, Son pointed out why he should have met players in Europe instead of Korea at a time when he could not afford to hire a coaching staff member.
