HWANG SUN-HONG WHAT IF I CAN'T KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE? JEONG HAE-SEONG "I WILL TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY"
“If you ask me what I will do when the results are bad, I will take full responsibility as the chairman.”
Chairman Jeong Hae-seong of the Power Strengthening Committee
In the end, Hwang Seon-hong, coach of the U-23 national soccer team, announced that the U-23 soccer team will be held in March during the A-match period (18). ~26th He was given the important responsibility of leading the A team. 카지노사이트
Coach Hwang will lead the A team in the 3rd and 4th games of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round against Thailand on March 21st and 26th.
It is not a strange choice to entrust the leadership of the A national team to Coach Hwang, a ‘leader of the Football Association’, as it is urgent to appoint an official head coach right away.
He said that Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart), Hong Hyun-seok (Gent), Seol Young-woo (Ulsan), and Park Jin-seop (Jeonbuk), whom he coached at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, are currently playing for the A national team, so he will take charge of the team immediately.
It seems that there will be no major problems.
There are quite a few cases in other countries where one leader leads both the U-23 national team and the A national team as an official coach.
Hajime Moriyasu, coach of the Japan A national team, and Graham Arnold, coach of the Australia A national team, have held concurrent positions as U-23 coach for several years.
Not to go far, in Korea too, Coach Huh Jung-moo coached the Sydney Olympic team and the A team (January 1999 to September 2000), and Coach Pim Verbeek coached the Doha Asian Games and Beijing Olympic teams (July 2006 to July 2006). (August 2007) He held the concurrent position.
However, the reason why the 'temporary coach Park Hang-seo rumor' was more prevalent than that of coach Hwang before the official announcement was because the U-23 national team was facing a big task of advancing to the 2024 Paris Olympics finals.
Coach Hwang will have to play in the final Asian qualifying round for the Paris Olympics and the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup, which will be held in Qatar in April.
Korean men's soccer is a regular at the Olympics.
So far, we have advanced to the finals 9 times in a row.
However, it is said that this time, advancing to the finals seems more difficult than ever.
This is because they are in a group with Japan, China, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and cannot be confident of advancing to the quarterfinals, where they can advance to second place in the group.
During the international match period this March, the U-23 national team will undergo its final training to pass the preliminary round through a friendly competition held in Saudi Arabia.
However, Coach Hwang took charge of the A national team during this period.
The U-23 national team will be led by the existing coaching staff ‘without Coach Hwang’.
If coach Hwang makes a mistake in the two-game series against Thailand, making it difficult to advance to the World Cup finals, or fails to deliver the good news of advancing to the Olympic finals for the 10th consecutive time in Qatar, there will inevitably be a huge fallout for the Football Association.
At a press conference held on the 27th to announce Coach Hwang's appointment as interim coach of the National Team A, Chairman Jeong Hae-seong said, "As chairman, I will take full responsibility" if there are "negative results."
He said, “Coach Hwang was evaluated as having sufficient ability after building the team for 1 year and 6 months ahead of the Hangzhou Asian Games.”
He added, “We believe that he is participating in the (Saudi Arabia) friendly competition as a final performance check.”
“I thought I could handle it and suggested it to Director Hwang,” he explained.
By choosing a temporary coach system, the Power Strengthening Committee was able to have a little more time and step by step find a head coach who would lead the A team until the North and Central America World Cup.
Chairman Jeong said, “We plan to appoint an official coach by at least early May to ensure that there are no disruptions in preparations for the second qualifying round of the World Cup in June,” and added, “Starting from the next meeting, we will continue discussions on the appointment of the next coach from a longer-term perspective.”
“I did it,” he said.
In addition, "The Football Association agrees that a technical philosophy that represents Korean football is needed, and has begun research with the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), and the results have now been produced. We will
share this with the Power Strengthening Committee so that it can be reflected in the selection of the coach." He said.
At the first meeting held on the 21st, the Power Strengthening Committee agreed to appoint an official commander immediately without going through the temporary supervision system and have him lead the team from the match against Thailand in March. At the second meeting on the 24th, they decided to appoint a temporary commander.
It has been changed.
As the team of candidates was narrowed down to domestic leaders due to the urgent need to appoint an official manager, criticism among K League fans arose as the current K League coaches were criticized.
Chairman Chung acknowledged that the change in policy toward appointing a temporary commander was a choice that reflected public opinion to some extent.
Chairman Jeong said, "(At the second meeting) (members) expressed opinions that we should not ignore the sentiments of the public and fans as a whole. There
was also an opinion that the K-League should be respected as well.
So, we decided to appoint him as interim manager." reported.
Chairman Jeong also said, “After the first meeting, we agreed to clearly set a standard among the eight conditions (required for a new director),” adding, “Within that standard, we will discuss with domestic and foreign directors who have shown interest through various channels.” "he said.
