Hong Myung-bo , the head coach of the national football team, expressed his determination to take charge at his inaugural press conference and promised a changed national team. At

11 am on the 29th, at the Korea Football Association building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Hong appeared at his inaugural press conference and said, “Korean football is currently at an important turning point,” and “I have decided to take on the challenge for the development of Korean football, not for personal greed. I will humbly accept criticism and pointers and do my best to help Korean football advance.”

The Korea Football Association, which fired former head coach Jurgen Klinsmann after the team was eliminated from the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, officially appointed Hong as head coach on the 13th after approval from the board of directors.

Coach Hong left for Europe for ten days from the 15th to the 25th, interviewed foreign coaches and national team players, and returned to hold a press conference for his inauguration.

First, Coach Hong explained the process of accepting the position of national team coach, saying, “I met with Director of Technology Lim Saeng on July 5th and had a long conversation. I talked about my usual soccer philosophy, national team management plan, and plans for linking national teams at all levels while working as a national team coach and as an executive director of the Korea Football Association. Director Lee asked me to take the position after hearing these opinions, and I accepted after thinking it over all night.” He

continued, “Korean soccer is at a critical turning point. The performances in the FIFA World Cup and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, which are held every four years, are important, but it is time for Korean soccer to develop and grow in the long term, centering on the national team. I plan to establish a development system from a long-term perspective through the ‘MIK (Made In Korea) Project’ announced by the Korea Football Association.” He

also said about the harsh criticism directed at him and the Korea Football Association, “The national team must catch two birds with one stone: results expressed in performance and the establishment of a long-term development system. I will humbly accept harsh criticism and pointers. I will listen and listen again and do my best to help Korean soccer advance,” he replied. Coach Hong said, “Based on my experience as a coach of the national team by age group, executive director of the Korea Football Association, and coach of Ulsan, I will build a national team that will grow together with the K-League, the root of Korean soccer,” and “I will also actively seek out promising players who will become assets to Korean soccer.” He also emphasized that he will create a national team that properly embodies three spirits: respect for horizontal relationships between players and coaching staff, dialogue to eliminate problems and misunderstandings arising from lack of communication, and lastly, responsibility and dedication toward the national team. “The national team is a place that receives a lot of attention and can raise positive topics in our society through good roles,” said Coach Hong, who concluded his inauguration speech by saying, “I will also listen to the criticisms of soccer fans. I know that they come from the same voice of the development of Korean soccer. I ask for your support and encouragement as you watch the changing national team.”
