Cho Won-hee Also Takes Legal Action Against Park Joo-ho, Directly Hitting the Football Association… “I Can’t Speak”
Former national soccer player Cho Won-hee (retired), who played in 36 A-matches, also publicly expressed regret to the Korea Football Association, which suggested legal action against Park Joo-ho, who raised issues with the process of appointing the national team coach.
On the afternoon of the 14th, Cho Won-hee said on his YouTube channel bulletin board, "It was a 5-month period of confusion for Korean soccer," and "As a soccer player and a person who loves Korean soccer, it is true that I feel very sorry."
He continued , "I was speechless when I heard the news about the process of appointing the South Korean national soccer team coach and the Korea Football Association's legal response to Park Joo-ho," and "All the voices of support have been buried."
He added, "I think I need to give accurate and definitive answers to the questions many people have about this situation. https://bit.ly/outlookindiacasino
I sincerely hope that you will make a more correct decision so that we can madly cheer for and support South Korean soccer."
Former national team fullback Park Joo-ho, who served as a member of the Korea Football Association's National Team Strengthening Committee, recently uploaded an 'exposure' video to his YouTube channel.
The content was that the process of appointing Hong Myung-bo, who was leading K League 1 Ulsan HD, as the national team's commander was not carried out according to procedure, and that some of the Strengthening Committee members pushed for the appointment of a domestic football player rather than a foreign coach.
The Football Association decided to consider legal action against Park Joo-ho, claiming that he broke his confidentiality agreement.
Park Joo-ho is known to have mobilized his personal network to recommend coaches who were mentioned as final candidates, including Canadian national team coach Jesse Marsh and former Norwich City (England) manager David Wagner.
Previously, 'senior' football players with European football experience, such as commentator Lee Young-pyo, Jeonbuk Hyundai technical director Park Ji-sung, and former vice-president of the Korea Football Association Lee Dong-gook, also defended Park Joo-ho and criticized the Korea Football Association.
Of these, three, excluding technical director Park, were executives of the Korea Football Association, but resigned in April 2023 as public anger grew over the association's 'surprise' pardon of football players under disciplinary action for reasons such as match-fixing.
Cho Won-hee served as the chairman of the Korea Football Association's social contribution committee since January of last year, but stepped down after three months following the 'surprise pardon incident'. https://writer.bighugelabs.com/share/chi4jd7k
The other two served as vice-chairmen of the Korea Football Association.
Cho Won-hee, who finished his active career in 2020, has since been active as a YouTuber.
His channel currently has 470,000 subscribers.
