Coach Hong Myung-bo, who was appointed as the national soccer team coach at the judgment of the chairman of the Lee Im-saeng Technology Development Committee without an interview, and Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, who accepted it, will attend the National Assembly.
The National Assembly’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee will ask questions on pending issues in the morning of the 24th. Amid controversy over the process of appointing the national soccer team coach, Hong Myung-bo and other officials will attend the National Assembly.
Hong and Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, are expected to appear at the National Assembly. In addition, Lee Im-saeng, technical director, Jeong Hae-sung, former chairman of the Korea National Team, and Park Joo-ho, former member of the Korea National Team, who made a flurry of remarks after Hong’s appointment, are expected to appear at the National Assembly as witnesses.
Although the Korea Football Association is constantly noisy, such as “pardon of match manipulator” and “controversy over the appointment and dismissal of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann,” it is expected that the current question will focus on the process of appointing Hong.
Hong was appointed as the coach of the Korean national soccer team in July. The public was deeply opposed to the association, which announced the PPT over a strong candidate for a foreign coach at the time and appointed Hong, who had never had an interview. In a related development, the association reportedly received the minutes of the committee’s meeting to strengthen the national team’s capacity, which took place 11 times, from the association.
Not only Hong but also Chung, the KFA’s top decision maker who watched Hong’s appointment, is expected to be the subject of intense questioning. Chung is at the center of controversy over the appointment of former coach Clinsman and Hong, and his bid to serve consecutive terms for the fourth time has become an issue. Although Chung has never expressed his intention to seek a fourth term in office, he has taken the lead in international soccer diplomacy as he was elected as an executive member of the AFC this year. Some say that he has started to lay the groundwork for his fourth term in office. Having served as an executive of an international organization, Chung could be subject to an exception to the limit on the number of consecutive terms after deliberation by the Korea Sports Council and the Sports Fair Committee. 토토사이트
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is also keeping an eye on the Korea Football Association. “Originally, I was supposed to be the president only twice, but I had to serve three consecutive terms as the sports fair committee allowed me to do so,” Culture Minister Yoo In-chon said recently. “Personally, when I listen to the public opinion, I think it is an honor to decide my own future,” he said, calling for his resignation. “We are looking into the process of appointing a coach for the national team, the urgent amnesty of corrupt soccer players, and the construction of a soccer center in Cheonan.”
