Thus, the KFA leadership will have two head coaches who have worked in Vietnam. They are Mr. Park Hang-seo in the role of vice president, and Mr. Chung Hae-seong, who holds the position of chairman of the team strengthening committee. The KPA vice president also has former coach of the Indonesian team Shin Tae-yong.
Mr. Park Hang-seo is currently an advisor for Bac Ninh Club, a team playing in the second division. After leaving the Vietnam national team in early 2023, Mr. Park will only hold an advisory role and run an international football academy named after himself.
On April 9, the KFA successfully held its 55th term. On this occasion, President of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) Tran Quoc Tuan sent a congratulatory letter to KFA President Chung Mong-gyu and members of the Executive Committee, including former head coach of the Vietnam national team Park Hang-seo.
In a letter to KFA President Chung Mong-gyu, VFF President Tran Quoc Tuan sent his congratulations and believed that the members of the new Executive Committee will play a key role in guiding and maintaining the success of Korean football. With the appearance of new individuals in the KFA Executive Committee for the 55th term, the VFF President commented that the dynamism of these members demonstrates the KFA's strong desire for progress and innovation. At the same time, he believes that under the direction of KFA President Chung Mong-gyu and the close coordination of the members, Korean football will complete the set goals and consolidate its position in the world football community.
On this occasion, VFF President Tran Quoc Tuan also sent a letter of congratulations to Mr. Park Hang-seo on his appointment as Vice President of KFA. In the letter, VFF President Tran Quoc Tuan expressed his confidence that with his experience and expertise, Coach Park Hang-seo will make many contributions to KFA in particular and football in general.
The VFF President also shared the time when Mr. Park Hang-seo held the role of head coach of the Vietnam national team and affirmed that what he brought to Vietnamese football was an extraordinary story, creating great inspiration for Vietnamese football, so the VFF leaders also look forward to witnessing the positive changes that Mr. Park Hang-seo will bring to the football community.
Fate
Coach Park Hang-seo was once mentioned as a candidate for the "captain" position of teams such as Malaysia, India or South Korea. In early 2024, when coach Jurgen Klinsmann was fired from the position of head coach of the South Korean team, Mr. Park was one of the five replacement coaches.
The five names mentioned at the meeting of the Korea Football Federation include coaches Hong Myung-bo, Hwang Seon-hong, Choi Yong-soo, Kim Ki-dong and Park Hang-seo.
According to Donga , Mr. Park is the right person if the KFA wants to find an interim strategist to lead the Korean team in the two matches against Thailand in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March 2024.
Mr. Park opened a football academy named after himself in Vietnam.

However, the KFA appointed Hwang Seon-hong as interim coach. Kim Do-hoon was later appointed as permanent coach. In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, South Korea still leads Group B, but is not certain to win a ticket. After 8 matches, the "Taeguk Warriors" have 16 points, 3 points ahead of second-place Jordan. In the next match, the South Korean team will face Iraq away.
Mr. Park Hang-seo has 20 years of experience in Korean football as a head coach, having led several Korean teams, or worked as an assistant to coach Guus Hiddink, making a great contribution to helping the Korean team reach the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup.
He also spent time coaching the Korean Olympic team at the 2002 ASIAD, then left the position due to his inability to help the Korean team win the championship.
During his 5 years working in Vietnam, Coach Park Hang-seo has achieved great success with the 2018 AFF Cup championship, a ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup and the 3rd qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup with the Vietnam team, bringing the U.23 Vietnam team to the final of the 2018 U.23 Asian Cup, winning 2 gold medals at the 2019 and 2022 SEA Games, helping the Vietnam Olympic team reach the semi-finals of the 18th ASIAD.
