Park Ji-sung (40), a Korean soccer legend, will join the K-League as a member of Jeonbuk Hyundai in professional soccer.
According to the football world on the 18th, Park Ji-sung will continue his career as an administrator in Jeonbuk from the beginning of this year.
A Jeonbuk official said, “The agreement was almost reached between the club and Park Ji-sung over the plan to work together,” and “We will make an official announcement soon.”
Exactly what role Park Ji-sung will play in Jeonbuk has not been confirmed.
It is known that there is a high possibility that he will be in charge of advice not only in the soccer technical field but in the overall operation of the club as a’part-time employee’.
The advice of Park Ji-sung, who has been active on the European stage for over 10 years and has experienced advanced club management systems, is expected to help Jeollabuk-do to become a prestigious Asian leader beyond the K League.
After Park Ji-sung retired from active duty, he studied football administration in England and prepared for his second life. From September 2016 to July 2017, he attended the International Football Federation (FIFA) Master Course at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK.
