This afternoon (September 9), the representative company confirmed that coach Park Hang-seo will take on the position of Vice President of the Korea Football Federation.
In the comments section, former head coach of the Vietnam national team Philippe Troussier sent his congratulations: "Congratulations on Mr. Park Hang-seo's appointment announcement. I would like to give you the best wishes in your new role.
Coach Troussier is the predecessor of Mr. Park Hang-seo, after the Korean coach left the team at the end of 2023.
Since then, coach Park Hang-seo has not led any more teams, although there are rumors that he is interested in teams such as India, Malaysia, Cambodia or Thailand.
Mr. Troussier signed a contract with VFF from February 27, 2023 for a term of 3.5 years, right after Mr. Park left. However, Mr. Troussier has not left any mark after more than 1 year of leading the Vietnam national team. The French strategist was under a lot of pressure after a successful period under Mr. Park.
Troussier coach underwent 10 losses when recruiting friendly Vietnam, the Asian Cup finals of 2023 and the 2nd World Cup qualifier. Since Troussier took over the "hot seat", Vietnam has fallen from 94 to 112 in the world, the lowest ranking over the past 6 years.
Park Hang-seo coach is the most successful military leader in Vietnam's football history. During the dynasty of the strategist born in 1957, Vietnam won the Asian U23 runner -up 2018, in the semi -finals of ASIAD 2018, winning the AFF Cup 2018, the SEA Games 30 and 31 gold medal.
