Korean media: Park Ji-sung is expected to coach the Korean Olympic Games, and if he takes office, he will lead the team to the Paris Olympics

According to the South Korean media "naver", South Korean football star Park Ji-sung is expected to coach the new Korean Olympic team.

The Korean Football Association will soon announce the candidate for the national Olympic team to succeed Kim Hak-bum, and it is expected to complete the selection process in early September. The next boss will lead the team to the U23 Asian Cup Group H match in Singapore from 27 to 31 October, with the same group of opponents as Singapore, the Philippines and Timor-Leste. In addition to leading the team to participate in the U23 Asian Cup, the new head coach will also lead the team to participate in next year's Hangzhou Asian Games and the Paris Olympic Games three years later.

According to South Korean domestic media, the candidates for the new National Olympic Coach of South Korea are Choi Yong-so, Hwang Sun-hung, choi Jin-cheol, and if it is difficult to make a choice, the Korean Football Association may also retain Kim Hak-fan. However, there is one candidate who no one will dispute, and he is Park Ji-sung, the hero of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. Coincidentally, by the time of the 2024 Paris Olympics, he was exactly 43 years old, the same age as When Hong Mingfu led the team to win the bronze medal at the London Olympics.

For coaching the national Olympic team, the age of early 40s is the most appropriate. A domestic football manager in South Korea also said: "If Park Ji-sung becomes the manager of the National Olympic Games, who will oppose it?" If Park Ji-sung feels that this is a burden for him, then the president of the Football Association, Jeong Mong-kyu, will come forward to persuade him. ”
