Coach Vahid Halilhodzic (71), a famous coach from Bosnia, admitted to contacting the Korea Football Association.
In an interview with Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ‘Radio Sarajevo’ on the 28th, coach Halil Hodzic said, “They (Korea Football Association) called me. But we only had a short conversation. Many places, including the national team and clubs, want me, but we always have short conversations.”
The Korea Football Association is looking for a successor to former soccer team coach Paulo Bento by the end of February.
It is a process of reorganizing the candidates since Michael Müller, the new head of the National Team Strengthening Committee, took office.
Coach Halil Hodzic also seems to have confirmed his intention to take over in this process.
Director Halil Hozic is a familiar figure in Korea. During the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he led Algeria to a 4-2 victory over Korea.
When coach Halil Hozic was appointed to Japan, he demanded strong football, such as demanding ‘Duel’ (body fight), and in this area, it was evaluated that it was in line with the strengths of Korean football. 메이저놀이터
However, it is something to ponder that director Halilhozic’s rough temper has caused problems everywhere. In fact, coach Halil Hodzic suffered three hardships right before the World Cup.
Starting with his dismissal from Côte d’Ivoire four months before the opening of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he was dismissed in April 2018, when he was a Japanese coach, two months before the World Cup in Russia. Morocco, who reached the semifinals at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, was also cut with three months left before the opening.
Coach Halilhodzic said, “Congratulations on Morocco’s success. 4th place was a great result,” he said.
