The President of the Football Association, Chung Mong-gyu
Football Coaches Association: “The president of the Football Association, Chung Mong-gyu, should step down for his ‘tinkering prescription’”
“I don’t take care of the underdeveloped base and focus only on the national team’s performance.”
The Korea Football Coaches Association (KFA), a new organization, called for the resignation of Chung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association. 토토사이트 순위
The leaders’ association issued a statement on the 7th, saying, “Korean soccer is regressing due to the hasty administration of the current executive branch, which focuses only on the national team’s performance without taking care of the underdeveloped soccer base,” and “Our soccer leader holds Chairman Chung Mong-gyu responsible for all of this.”
“You must lose and resign immediately,” he argued.
Korean soccer was eliminated in the semifinals by being completely defeated by Jordan at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup held earlier this year, and last month, the U-23 national team led by coach Hwang Sun-hong failed to advance to the 2024 Paris Olympics finals.
We have been delivering disappointing news one after another.
In particular, it was a great shock because it was the first time in 40 years since the 1984 Los Angeles Games that Korean soccer failed to qualify for the Olympics.
The Leaders’ Association strongly criticized the Football Association, saying that this was the result of the Football Association’s lax management of the national team, such as entrusting Coach Hwang with the temporary managership of the A national team ahead of the final Olympic qualifiers.
He also pointed out that even though leaders and experts conveyed information to the executive branch that ‘the level of participating teams from Southeast Asia and other Asian countries has been leveled upward,’ Chairman Chung only gave “fixed prescriptions.”
The Leaders’ Association said, “The regime of Korea Football Association President Chung Mong-gyu, who took office in 2013, destroyed the status and pride of Korean football that his seniors and juniors had painstakingly built up during his tenure,” and said that last year’s attempt to pardon match-fixing football players, coach Jurgen Klinsmann, was unclear.
Examples include the selection process and the mandatory participation system for U-22 players in the K-League, which Chairman Chung introduced when he was president of the Korea Professional Football League.
In particular, regarding the U-22 mandatory participation system, “A system that guarantees participation in games on the professional stage with the highest skill level solely because of ‘under 22 years of age’ regardless of skill is a system that nullifies the noble sweat and effort of existing professional players.
“There is a lot of opposition from the field,” he said.
