Incompetent & catastrophic: president lays into World Cup coach | OneFootball

South Korea failed to qualify for the round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams in the group stage. Head coach Hong Myung-bo has already announced his resignation, but that did not stop South Korea’s president from lashing out at the coach. 

"It has once again become clear that personnel is crucial. When incompetent leaders are chosen because of their loyalty rather than their abilities, the catastrophic result is entirely predictable," Lee Jae Myung wrote in a statement on 'X'. He added that he was not just completely surprised, "I am utterly speechless." 

He also called on the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to thoroughly investigate and analyze the exact circumstances of this incident. "We will swiftly push forward reforms in sports administration to ensure that something like this never happens again," the head of state announced. 

The media in South Korea went even a step further and blurred the face of the former national team coach in a post after the elimination. 

Broadcaster 'KBS' also traveled to Monterrey to inspect the hotel and find out whether the accommodations were responsible for the poor performance against South Africa.

All that remains is to hope that the new coach gets off to an easier start.
