Returned home after finishing his business trip to Europe on the morning of the 25th
National soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo will hold an inauguration press conference on the 29th.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 24th, “Coach Hong Myung-bo will hold an inauguration press conference at 11 AM on the 29th at the Korea Football Association Hall in Jongno-gu, Seoul.”
Coach Hong, who officially took over as head coach of the national soccer team after receiving approval from the Korea Football Association’s board of directors on the 13th, embarked on his first schedule as head coach of the national team by going on a business trip to Europe two days later on the 15th to interview foreign coaches.
After completing the interview with foreign coaches, Coach Hong went to England and had a one-on-one meeting with national team captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham), then moved to Germany to meet with Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) and Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), and then to Serbia to meet with Hwang In-beom and Seol Young-woo (both Zvezda).
According to the Korea Football Association, Coach Hong is scheduled to return to Korea via Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 25th after completing his business trip to Europe.
At his inaugural press conference on the 29th, Coach Hong is expected to personally brief the reporter about his business trip to Europe and explain and persuade the controversies and criticism surrounding him.
Meanwhile, criticism of the Korea Football Association over the appointment process for Coach Hong is growing stronger day by day. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has begun an audit of the Korea Football Association, and Chairman Chung Mong-gyu of the Korea Football Association and Technical Director Lee Im-saeng of the Korea Football Association have been reported to the police on charges of obstruction of business. 카지노사이트
