Recently, Lee Lim-saeng, the technical director of the Korea Football Association, said at a press conference that he made the decision to appoint Hong Myung-bo as the new head coach of the Korean national team completely by himself and was willing to apologize to the Ulsan fans for this.
Speaking about the selection of Hong Myung-bo this time, Lee Lim-saeng said: “I met with two foreign candidate coaches, both of whom were very good. However, after considering tactical concepts, leadership, coaching experience, and adaptation time, I still believe Hong Myung-bo is the more suitable choice. The final decision-making power of this appointment lies with me, and the decision was made by me alone. I apologize to the Ulsan fans for this.”
Due to Hong Myung-bo suddenly taking over the national team, Ulsan HD had to start the selection process while the league was still ongoing. The team currently sits second in the K League table with 11 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses for a total of 39 points, one point behind league leader Gimcheon Sangmu.
