OFFICIAL: South Korea head coach Myung-bo Hong steps down, eliminated in group stage of this World Cup
Official reports confirm South Korea head coach Myung-bo Hong has tendered his resignation. South Korea claimed 1 win and 2 losses for 3 points, exiting the tournament at the group stage of this World Cup.
At the press conference, Myung-bo Hong stated: “I offer my sincere apologies to all citizens who supported the national team. I will step down from my coaching role. The position of national team head coach is not some preordained duty; it is a role built on communication, where accountability must run through everything from planning to final results.
“Over the past two years, I have constantly questioned myself, reflecting on whether every choice I made truly served South Korean football. None of my decisions were perfect, yet this period remains an important chapter for South Korean football.
“I stand here to take full accountability. We failed to deliver the performances everyone expected, and the responsibility lies squarely with the head coach. I am grateful to all players, my coaching staff and everyone involved. I am resigning from my post as national team manager. My passion for South Korean football will never fade. Thank you to all media personnel for your coverage and support. I am truly sorry I could not meet your expectations.”
Aged 57, Myung-bo Hong took charge of South Korea in July 2024. His original contract was set to expire after the 2027 Asian Cup. Across his tenure, he oversaw 27 matches, recording 15 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses.
