The Korean Football Federation has explained the controversy over the coaches that arose during the last World Cup in Qatar.
The Football Association released a statement on its website and said: “The players requested that Ahn Deok-soo’s coach work as an association staff, but Ahn Deok-soo did not have the necessary qualifications and did not even officially ask”.
The association acknowledged the contribution of coach Ahn Deok-soo, who treated the national team like a personal trainer, but added: “I am sorry that he publicly criticized the association and medical personnel without specific reasons via personal SNS immediately after the tournament”.
Furthermore, the association explained: “The local specialist and the team doctor had their opinions on the player who complained of pain during the tournament, but Ahn Deok-soo expressed a different opinion to the players, leading to confusion “.
The Football Association apologized for causing concern to football players and football fans and announced it would conduct research and establish related regulations to establish a new relationship with personal trainers.
