Former HCMC coach publicly revealed 8 criteria for choosing a new coach for the Korean team

Immediately after being restructured with a new chairman and 10 new members, the National Team Strengthening Committee of the Korea Football Association (KFA) immediately got to work. Chairman of the committee Chung Hae Seong (former head coach of Ho Chi Minh City Club) and a group of experts - including former assistant coach of the Vietnam National Team Lee Young Jin - immediately came up with 8 criteria to select a new head coach for the Korean national team.

These criteria relate to tactical factors, development strategy, achievements, career, communication skills, leadership qualities, assistant team and feasibility. Mr. Chung Hae Seong announced and explained all 8 criteria above in his first interview as the chairman of the most important professional council in the Korea Football Association.

cuu hlv tp.hcm cong khai 8 tieu chi chon thay moi cho tuyen han quoc hinh anh 1 — Former Ho Chi Minh City FC coach Chung Hae Seong is chairman of the National Team Strengthening Committee of the Korea Football Federation.

The first factor to consider is ability. "That person must be able to build and apply the right playing tactics for the team," said Chung Hae Seong. According to SPOTV News, this is an aspect that coach Jurgen Klinsmann - who was fired last week - failed to meet. The German coach was assessed as lacking ideas and poor at adapting to situations on the field.

The criteria for selecting a head coach that KFA has put forth are also said to be learned from Mr. Klinsmann's own failure.

In addition to tactical ability, the Korean Football Association also wants the national team head coach to have a development strategy towards the future. They need the head coach to have a balanced force plan, with continuity between generations and not too much difference between the main factors and the replacements. This is something Mr. Klinsmann has not been able to do.

The third criterion that KFA requires of the national team head coach is to prove his ability through his career success. Korean media also immediately compared with coach Klinsmann. He was an excellent player but has not had any significant achievements in his coaching career.

In addition, for some other criteria such as communication skills and leadership qualities, coach Jurgen Klinsmann also failed to meet. The German coach often works remotely and has no connection with professional departments, and does not even know what the Korean National Team Strengthening Committee is.
