(Dan Tri) - Daegu Mayor Hong Jun Pyo said that the Korean team should appoint coach Park Hang Seo to replace coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
Despite being highly rated, the Korean team unexpectedly lost to Jordan in the semi-finals of the 2023 Asian Cup. That made Korean fans extremely disappointed. They had been waiting for their team to win this tournament since 1960.

After the loss to Jordan, coach Klinsmann was heavily criticized. Korean fans said that the German strategist did not have a specific strategy and tactics. That made the Kim Chi team's playing style soulless. In addition, many opinions said that coach Klinsmann had a unique way of working. Although he led the Korean team, he spent most of his time living in Europe and only returned to Korea when necessary. A wave of calls for coach Klinsmann's dismissal appeared on social networks. Even Daegu mayor Hong Jun Pyo spoke up to call on the Korean Football Federation to put their trust in coach Park Hang Seo.

On his personal page, Mr. Hong Jun Pyo said: "Although the Korean team has many world-class players and many talented coaches like Park Hang Seo, I do not understand why the Korean Football Federation pays high salaries to foreign coaches. Even though coach Klinsmann was an excellent player, his coaching ability is another story. Obviously, he does not have a good coaching record. Why doesn't Korean football change before seeing everything ruined? I believe that there are many better Korean coaches than foreign coaches and they do not spend up to 2.8 billion won per year. In addition to coach Park Hang Seo, there are a few other coaches like Hwang Seon Hong and Cho Gwang Rae. It's time for this to end!" Recently, coach Park Hang Seo has taken on the task of advising and guiding the future of Bac Ninh Club in the Vietnam Second Division.
