South Korea's FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign has ended in disappointment. The team finished third in their group with 3 points from 3 games, with a recent form of 1 win and 2 losses.
What went wrong?
The problem with South Korea's football lies in the lack of a proper personnel system. After the re-election of President Chung Mong-gyu, the Korea Football Association has been acting abnormally. The association revised its constitution, reducing the functions of the National Team Power Enhancement Committee.
The appointment of Hong Myung-bo
The appointment of Hong Myung-bo as the national team coach was marred by controversy over the fairness of the process. Although the association went through the motions of selecting candidates, the National Team Power Enhancement Committee, which only had advisory powers, was virtually non-existent.
What's next?
The outlook for South Korea's football is bleak. The ongoing investigation into the Korea Football Association's appointment of coaches, including Klinsmann and Hong Myung-bo, may lead to criminal charges for obstruction of duty or breach of trust.
