South Korea’s early World Cup exit has triggered a presidential demand for answers and a coaching resignation.
President Lee Jae Myung wants a full investigation into South Korea’s group-stage flop, slamming the football association’s coaching pick as a costly misstep, according to Tribuna.
Head coach Hong Myung-bo resigned Sunday, taking responsibility after Saturday’s elimination — just three points from games against Czech Republic, co-hosts Mexico, and South Africa. Lee, pointing to heavy taxpayer spending on preparations, wants the sports ministry to dig into what went wrong. Reforms targeting the federation’s leadership process are reportedly already in motion.
