COUPE DU MONDE 2026: LE SÉLECTIONNEUR DE LA CORÉE DU SUD DÉMISSIONNE APRÈS L'ÉLIMINATION AU PREMIER TOUR
After South Korea's elimination in the first round of the 2026 World Cup, coach Hong Myung-bo preferred to quit.
South Korea's national team coach, Hong Myung-bo, resigned on Sunday after the Asian side's elimination in the first round of the 2026 World Cup, according to several media outlets, including the Yonhap news agency. In his second stint at the helm of South Korea, the 57-year-old suffered another resounding defeat with another early exit, similar to the 2014 World Cup.
Another failure
After a promising 2-1 victory against the Czech Republic, the "Taeguk Warriors" then lost to Mexico and South Africa, each time by a score of 1-0. This three-point tally was insufficient to secure a place among the eight best third-placed teams, which would have meant qualification for the round of 16.
Former national team captain Hong Myung-bo is considered one of the best players in the country's history. At the 2002 World Cup, hosted by South Korea, the defender won the Bronze Ball as the third-best player in the tournament. South Korea reached the semi-finals.
