Coach Park Hang-seo nominated to lead the Korean team; Messi and Inter Miami end 'disastrous' tour

Coach Park Hang-seo nominated to lead the Korean team

Coach Park Hang-seo was nominated to replace Mr. Klinsmann to lead the Korean team, after the team failed at the 2023 Asian Cup.

The Korean team (ranked 23rd in the world) just lost to Jordan (ranked 87th) with a score of 0-2 in the semi-finals of the 2023 Asian Cup, thereby failing to complete the goal of winning the championship.

This disappointing result made the media and fans of the "land of kimchi" extremely angry with coach Klinsmann and his team.

Immediately after the home team's defeat, Mayor of Daegu City (South Korea) - Mr. Hong Joon Pyo proposed replacing coach Klinsmann with coach Park Hang-seo.

He wrote on his personal page: "Our Korean players are all world-class. Although there are many talented domestic coaches like Coach Park Hang-seo, I don't understand why the Football Federation pays huge salaries just to hire foreign coaches.

Messi and Inter Miami end "disastrous" tour

Inter Miami's plans for a high-profile pre-season tour, with world champions and record eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi in the squad, have been a complete bust both in terms of media exposure and performance.

After disappointing fans in Hong Kong, Lionel Messi made a final appearance in Tokyo on Wednesday in Inter Miami’s latest Asian friendly. The 36-year-old came off the bench in the final half-hour to energize his teammates and had the best chance of the game in the 80th minute, with two shots on target that were both saved by the Vissel Kobe defense. After a 0-0 draw in regulation, the match went to penalties, which Vissel won 4-3.

Messi, however, did not take the penalty, which prompted jeers from the 28,614 spectators at the 68,000-seat Tokyo National Stadium. It was not as loud as the boos in Hong Kong, where fans even demanded refunds after Messi missed the game with a groin problem. But clearly, Japanese fans wanted to see more from their idol.

Wednesday's match concluded Inter Miami's global tour - which spanned from El Salvador to Dallas, Saudi Arabia to Hong Kong and ended in Tokyo.

Chelsea targets talented Girona coach to replace Pochettino

Chelsea are said to be targeting Michel, the coach who turned Girona into a phenomenon in La Liga, to replace Pochettino at the end of the season.

Todd Boehly, the American billionaire who owns the majority of shares and holds the position of chairman of Chelsea, is considering hiring Michel for the revolution this summer.

AftertHua Wolves right at home, Pochettino said that Chelsea need time for everything to get into gear.

But Boehly and the American investors don't think so. After so much money poured into recent transfer windows, failing to qualify for the Champions League would be a huge failure.
