Olympic team coach Hwang Seon-hong (56) was appointed on the 27th as the temporary head coach of the Korean national soccer team, which is in danger of being wrecked. It has been 11 days since former coach Jurgen Klinsmann was sacked.
On the 27th, Jeong Hae-seong, chairman of the Korea Football Association’s national team strength strengthening committee, held a briefing at the Soccer Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul and announced, “We will appoint Olympic team coach Hwang Seon-hong as the interim coach of the Korean national soccer team.” Newsis
Jeong Hae-seong, head of the Korea Football Association’s national team strength strengthening committee, announced on this day, “We have decided to appoint Olympic team coach Hwang Seon-hong as the interim coach of the Korean national soccer team.” Accordingly, Coach Hwang will lead the A national team until the 26th of next month, when Korea completes the two-game series of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round once morest Thailand, and will then return to the under-23 Olympic team. In the past, coach Huh Jung-moo and others took command of the A team and the Olympic team at the same time.
Coach Hwang said on this day, “I will prepare the national team well so that we can finish the two-game series once morest Thailand with a good result. “I will prepare hard to help Korean soccer return to its original state,” he said. Coach Hwang and the Strengthening Committee discussed together and decided to select the national team coaches who will assist Coach Hwang during the two-game series once morest Thailand (March 21 and 26). Chairman Jeong said, “We will appoint an official coach (for Team A) by early May at the latest.” Korea will play the North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifier once morest Singapore on June 6th and China on the 11th, but this means that the appointment of an official coach will be completed before then.
Former Vietnam national team coach Park Hang-seo and former Gangwon coach Choi Yong-soo were also mentioned as candidates for the national team’s temporary command position. The power strengthening committee members narrowed the list of candidates for temporary director to three, and following discussion, decided on Director Hwang as first priority. Chairman Jeong said, “Coach Hwang is a leader of the Korea Football Association who is in charge of the Olympic team, and he achieved victory at the Asian Games last year. “He has a lot of experience in international competitions,” he said, explaining why he was selected as first choice. At last year’s Hangzhou Asian Games, Coach Hwang led Korea to three consecutive championships, leading Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart), Seol Young-woo (Ulsan), and Park Jin-seop (Jeonbuk). These four players are also members of the Qatar Asian Cup team led by coach Klinsmann.

Coach Hwang is in charge of the Paris Olympic team, which is five months away, so he said he had a lot of concerns when he was offered an interim head coach. He said that when the Power Enhancement Committee first asked him if he might take over as interim director, he said, “Just give me a day to think regarding it.” Director Hwang said, “When I received a request for cooperation from the Power Strengthening Committee, I thought very hard. “I accepted it because I thought I should be of some help in a difficult situation for Korean soccer,” he said. “People have many concerns regarding Korean soccer, and I will do my best with a sense of responsibility to help alleviate their concerns.”
Coach Hwang also expressed his thoughts on preparation for the Olympic qualifiers. He said, “I am worried because the Olympic qualifiers are running fast. “We will prepare for the preliminary round in April by closely consulting with the coaches as we have done so far,” he said. The Olympic team will participate in the Asian Under-23 Cup held in Qatar from April 15 to May 4. In this competition, in which 16 countries, including Japan, Australia, Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and China, participate, one must place in the top three to participate in the Paris Olympics.
The national team roster for the North and Central America World Cup two-game series once morest Thailand will be announced on March 11. And a week later, on March 18th, Coach Hwang summons the national team.
