Bento, who announced the end of the contract, who will be the next national team coach?

Coach Paulo Bento (53) bid farewell to Korean soccer and the search for a new head coach has begun.

After losing 1-4 in the round of 16 against Brazil at the 2022 Qatar World Cup held at Stadium 974 in Doha, Qatar on the 6th, coach Bento said, “His contract with Korean football is over. “There is no renewal of the contract,” he said.

It is regrettable that Bento, the longest-serving coach, refused to renew his contract.

Bento, who took office in August 2018, achieved 10 consecutive World Cup finals and the first away round of 16 since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Expectations for his future development were high as Bento's build-up football, which he had honed over the past four years, had taken root.

However, as coach Bento revealed himself, the breakup with Korean soccer was already decided before the end of the 2nd A match in September, and it was an issue that was directly communicated to the players.

After passing the final Asian qualifying round for the Qatar World Cup, coach Bento received an offer to renew the contract from the president of the Korea Football Association, Chung Mong-gyu, but he made up his mind to part ways as he could not narrow the differences over the contract period.

An official from the Korea Football Association said in a phone call with the reporter, "It was not a matter of treatment like the wages of the coaching staff." If the association wanted '1 year + 3 years', which extends the contract period according to performance after renewing the contract until the next Asian Cup, coach Bento wanted a full guarantee until the 2026 World Cup,” he explained.

As coach Bento refused to renew the contract, Korean football repeated the history of breaking up with all leaders who passed the group stage in the World Cup.

Coach Guus Hiddink of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, 무료스포츠중계 who achieved the semi-final legend, left read more for PSV in the Netherlands, saying that the offer to renew the contract was “too late.” .

It was compared to the strong players in Europe and South America showing consistent soccer by breathing with a proven leader for over 10 years.

Fortunately, coach Bento made a quick decision and enough time was secured for Korean soccer.

The National Coach Selection Committee, led by Vice President Lee Yong-soo of the Korea Football Association, has been searching for new coach candidates since last September. As director Bento publicly said goodbye, it seems that multiple director candidates will be delivered to Chairman Chung in the near future. After that, it is the process of entering into recruitment negotiations with the leader whom Chung has chosen.

However, the association only stated that domestic and foreign leaders were the target in relation to the director candidates, but drew a line on rumors of contact with people who are on the rise. It is expected that it will not take long for the new director candidate to be revealed as an A match must be held in March next year.
