Coach Park Hang Seo has unexpectedly been nominated to lead the South Korean national team, replacing Klinsmann.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Daegu Mayor Hong Jun Pyo believes the South Korean national team should appoint coach Park Hang Seo to replace coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Despite being highly rated, the South Korean national team suffered a shocking defeat to Jordan in the semi-finals of the 2023 Asian Cup. This left South Korean fans extremely disappointed, as they had been waiting for their team to win the tournament since 1960.

Following the defeat against Jordan, coach Klinsmann faced considerable criticism. Korean fans argued that the German strategist lacked a clear strategy and tactics, resulting in a lifeless performance from the South Korean team. Furthermore, many believed Klinsmann's working style was unconventional. Despite leading the South Korean national team, he spent most of his time living in Europe, only returning to Korea when necessary. A wave of calls for Klinsmann's dismissal emerged on social media. Even Daegu Mayor Hong Jun Pyo spoke out, urging the Korean Football Association to place their trust in coach Park Hang Seo.

On his personal page, Hong Jun Pyo stated: "Although the Korean national team has many world-class players and talented coaches like Park Hang Seo, I don't understand why the Korean Football Association pays high salaries to foreign coaches. Even though Coach Klinsmann was an excellent player, his coaching ability is a different story. Clearly, he doesn't have a good coaching record. Why doesn't Korean football change before everything is ruined? I believe there are many Korean coaches who are better than foreign coaches, and they don't spend 2.8 billion won a year. Besides Coach Park Hang Seo, there are a few other coaches like Hwang Seon Hong and Cho Gwang Rae. It's time this stopped!" Recently, Coach Park Hang Seo took on the role of advisor and future mentor for Bac Ninh FC in the Vietnamese Second Division.
