LOL South Korea's new head coach is ... Paulo Bento, former Portugal boss. Last seen getting fired by China's Chongqing in July.— John Duerden (@JohnnyDuerden) August 17, 2018
Kim Pan-gon looks very unfortunate/disappointed he couldn't nab a decent manager. At least you tried.
This Q&A portion of the announcement is pretty entertaining. KPG just flat out says that the KFA simply could not offer enough money to attract decent candidates. Sounds like Bento box was really the only viable candidate (with how low his stock has fallen) from the way KPG is defending his selection...
KPG just threw huge shade at STY without saying his name when discussing the level of fitness training/coaching that Bento is able to offer versus what happened previously when our European based players came to train with the KNT (i.e., the ridiculous power programme right before the WC).
They would have gone with STY. At least with foreign it gives them an excuse not to hire him. Unless KFA had the balls to tell STY he's a failure right after the WC and tell him to take a hike. Instead, they stringed him along/not drew that line and made him a backup choice if no they couldn't find a foreigner.
The reality is that Bento box is a manager in need of repairing his career. And we are a damaged side in need of an overhaul with our emerging talents. The thing is that Bento is still a modern manager who will bring an actual staff with experience. He won't be UliShit bringing his buddy massage therapist and calling it a day and showing Cruyff videos instead of actually preparing the squad.
Give Kim Pan-gon a break, he's disappointed that he wasn't able to bring in a decent name even when he wanted to, and the least he did everything within his power to do so but couldn't turn it into fruition. Lee Yong-soo flat out smiled when he hired Stielike, just goes to show you how he didn't take his job seriously.
So the early 60s candidate (who KPG does not name) must be Juande Ramos. KPG says he was very disappointed by the coaching staff. In other words, they're a generation too old. I wonder if he still will force vegan diets. You can guess the others in their 50s are Quique and Bilic. And then it was Bento box...
Bento asked Kim Pan-gon if they can make him an office at the Paju NFC, but when Kim Pan-gon asked why, Bento replied by saying that he needed to get to work everyday.
