SEOUL, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Two leading South Korean football officials are unhappy another foreigner might be chosen to head the national team, according to a local media report.
The team has been without a coach since Pim Verbeek quit
after steering the side to third place at the Asian Cup in
July. Verbeek had succeeded fellow Dutchman Dick Advocaat in
the job.
'The Korea Football Association's (KFA) possible decision
to go ahead with another foreign coach without any evaluation
or reflection on past cases, seems to be to avoid doing it at
all,' Ahn Jong-box, head of Incheon United and the K-League was
quoted as saying in sports daily Sports Seoul.
Daejeon Citizen head coach Kim Ho, who lead the 1994 World
Cup team, was also quoted by the daily as saying: 'I am under
the self-destructive impression that not only the coaches, but
the ones who choose them should also be imported.'
KFA technical committee head Lee Young-moo has said it
expected to name a new coach by the end of the month.
