Coach Kim Sang-sik reveals mandatory tasks, if you can't do it, quit

"In interviews, people ask me what my leadership secret is. I answer that as a coach, teacher, training and educating players is a natural thing," coach Kim Sang-sik shared at an exchange session organized by the representative company. The Korean coach emphasized that this is a mandatory task that every coach must do after signing a contract with any team.

The head coach of the Vietnam national team said: "In every team, that is the basic thing. If you can't do it, you should quit, because that means you are not capable of working in this field. Of course I have to do that, along with the support team."

Kim Sang-sik has little experience as a head coach. The Vietnam national team is only the second team that the former Korean player has led. Before that, he was the head coach of Jeonbuk FC in Korea for 2 years.

Although his tenure was short, coach Kim Sang-sik achieved quick success at both teams. He helped Jeonbuk win the K-League championship in his first season. At the Vietnam national team, after 8 months since taking office, the 48-year-old coach brought home the 2024 AFF Cup championship.

"When I inherited this job, I felt a great responsibility. There were things I planned for and things I didn't expect, but I prepared step by step. Above all, I tried my best to connect with Vietnamese players and Vietnamese fans.

Little by little, I learned. And then when there were shortcomings, I asked Coach Park Hang Seo for advice. I also consulted local coaches on all matters. I took each step to understand the players," Coach Kim Sang-sik shared.

The former Korean player also said that he does not consider his job as simply teaching players. An important detail in the way coach Kim Sang-sik works is to create a comfortable and happy atmosphere for all members of the team. Also in this conversation, coach Kim Sang-sik's representative commented that he has an interesting personality.

"He's very funny and witty, but he also seems very scary. He's witty in many different ways. But as a football coach, you always have to have authority. I've never seen a coach with a personality like his. That's what makes his words more influential and connects the players closely," said representative Lee Dong-jun.
