Coach Hwang Seon-hong takes charge of Daejeon, ranked 11th in K League 1 Return after 4 years
“I feel like I’m back home We’ll all work together as one.”
Hwang Seon-hong, former coach of the U-23 national soccer team, took the helm of Daejeon Hana Citizen of the professional soccer K League 1, which fell to 11th place.
On the 3rd, the Daejeon club announced, “We have appointed coach Hwang Seon-hong as the 15th head coach.”
Coach Hwang, who resigned from the Daejeon head coach in September 2020 due to poor performance, returned to the position as head of Daejeon again after four years.
The club said, “It is time for new changes and a turnaround by overcoming the crisis situation in which we have recently ranked 11th. He explained the reason for his appointment, saying, “Coach Hwang, who has extensive experience as a player and coach in domestic and international leagues and national teams, was judged to be the right person to overcome the crisis based on his leadership and experience in leading the team.”
Coach Hwang, who played a leading role in the semifinals of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup during his time as a player, began his leadership career as coach of Busan I-Park in 2008 after his retirement. 메이저사이트
Coach Hwang, who has been in charge of Pohang since 2011, achieved a season double (two crowns) by winning the regular league and the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup (now Korea Cup) in 2013.
He emerged as a leading player in the K-League, giving Pohang 99 league wins and 3 trophies (1 regular league, 2 FA Cups) in 5 years. In 2016, he once again reached the top of K-League 1 as manager of FC Seoul and received the K-League 1 Manager Award in 2016 and again in 2013. In 2020, he took over as head coach for the first time since Daejeon’s transition to a new corporate team with Hana Financial Group, but stepped down before completing the season due to poor performance. Coach Hwang, who was appointed as the coach of the U-23 national soccer team in 2021, led Korea to its third consecutive victory in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held last year. However, last month, he led the U-23 national team and failed to advance to the semifinals of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup, failing to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. It has been 40 years since the 1984 Los Angeles Games that Korean soccer failed to qualify for the Olympics. Coach Hwang said, “It feels like returning home,” and added, “All members will work together as one to overcome the current crisis and achieve the vision that the club dreams of.” 안전 슬롯사이트
