South Korea coach resigns as World Cup exit prompts overhaul
South Korea’s head coach Hong Myung-bo resigned after the team’s early World Cup exit, amid fierce criticism from President Lee Jae Myung who ordered a full review of the national team program. After a group-stage win over the Czech Republic, Korea lost to South Africa and Mexico and failed to advance. Hong apologized, took responsibility, and pledged to support reforms to regain public trust in Korean football.
