Gwangju FC coach Lee Jeong-hyo
On the 13th, Gwangju Mayor Kang Ki-jeong joined the call for the dismissal of national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann and recommended Gwangju FC coach Lee Jeong-hyo as his successor.
Mayor Kang said at a tea party with reporters that day, "Coach Klinsmann received a red card from the citizens," and "Seeing that he hastily returned to the United States (after the Asian Cup), I thought that at this point, as Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo said, he should be fired right away." “It costs this,” he said.
Mayor Kang, owner of the citizen professional soccer team Gwangju FC, recommended, “It would be good to ask for understanding before the Gwangju FC season opening game on the 2nd of next month and send coach Lee Jeong-hyo as the national team coach.”
He said, "It is the coach's fault that the game was played helplessly despite the presence of prominent players such as Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in," and added, "Coach Lee has tactics that surpass Klinsmann, and even with unknown players, he played attacking soccer and interesting soccer." .
Gwangju FC took third place in professional soccer K-League 1 last year and became a promoted team. 19가이드03
