Huh Jung-moo, a candidate for president of the Korea Football Association, emphasized “open communication” and expressed his intention to actively use young soccer players.
Huh Jung-moo, former coach of the national soccer team and chairman of the Daejeon Hana Citizen, officially announced his candidacy for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association at Athens Hall on the 4th floor of the Olympic Parktel on the 25th.
Chairman Huh talked about the recent administrative power issues of the Korea Football Association and proposed up to five solutions, including ▲ active communication with open management, transparent and fair operation of the Korea Football Association by ▲ system, ▲ creativity and autonomy of regional associations, ▲ establishment of a systematic leadership training and appointment system, ▲ fostering the soccer dream tree and improving women’s soccer competitiveness.
Candidate Heo cited the “decision-making structure” as the biggest problem of the Korea Football Association. He said, “The decision was not communicated properly by the independent way of operation. No decision should be made by the president of the association alone. If the system had been properly implemented, this would not have happened. I think it should be a climate where people do not care about their superiors, not alone decisions.”
At the same time, he promised to operate normally through active communication. “I prefer playing together rather than being authoritative. I focused on listening to the opinions of the clubs and various organizations,” Huh said. “I will listen to the experts.” 온라인카지노
He also stressed the need for young and promising juniors. When asked about the appointment of stars who worked for the association, including Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo, he said, “It’s not something you have to think about, it’s something you have to do.” He stressed that talented people with overseas experience should lead the Korean soccer team.
Park previously served as the association’s youth strategy head between 2017 and 2018. Lee served as the vice president from 2021 to 2023.
Candidate Heo said, “Footballers such as Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo and Lee Dong-guk are busy. Now I try not to act as a best man. We need to create an environment where young administrators can work with responsibility, not a best man,” adding that it should be an environment where young administrators can work.
