The information that Coach Park Hang-seo is running to lead the Malaysian team is false.

Information about Coach Park Hang-seo running for the position of coach of the Malaysian national team appeared in the media in recent days, after President Datuk Hamidin Amin of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) confirmed that Mr. Park is one of the candidates to lead the national team of this country.

However, Coach Park Hang-seo's representative, Lee Dong-jun, denied the above information, emphasizing that the Korean coach had never applied for or negotiated with FAM for the position of head coach. According to Mr. Lee, DJ Management Company and FAM had discussed and agreed on many issues, but there was no content emphasizing that Mr. Park would coach the Malaysian team. FAM's announcement of the above information could affect Coach Park Hang-seo's image.

Malaysian football fans are hoping that coach Park Hang-seo will lead the national team of this country. In a poll initiated by Astro Arena, the name Park Hang-seo has been ranked in the top position as the coach expected to replace Kim Pan-gon in the Malaysian team.

The former coach of the Vietnamese national team received more than 60% of the votes from about 400 voters, as of noon on July 18.

Although the voting still lasted for nearly a day, Park Hang-seo's votes far surpassed Pau Marti Vicente, who was recently appointed by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) to replace Kim Pan-gon. Pau Marti only received 11.4% of the votes.

In fact, the Spanish coach's votes were also lower than Kim Pan-gon's predecessor, Tan Cheng Hoe (12.6% of the votes). Another name included in the vote was Nafuzi Zain, who is currently in charge of Kedah Darul Aman Club. Coach Nafuzi Zain came second in the vote, receiving 15.2% of the votes.

After leaving the Vietnam national team in January 2023, Coach Park Hang-seo has not returned to coaching, but has developed personal projects. He opened an international football academy in Vietnam and served as an advisor for the million-dollar football team Bac Ninh . However, Bac Ninh failed to participate in the first division when they lost to Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club (now Ho Chi Minh City Youth) on penalties.
