Receiving a direct red card, will coach Park Hang-seo be banned from coaching at the 2020 AFC U23 Championship?
(Baonghean.vn) - With the direct red card in the SEA Games final between U22 Vietnam and U22 Indonesia, will coach Park Hang-seo be banned from coaching in upcoming tournaments?
In the 77th minute of the match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Indonesia, when the score was 3-0 in favor of U22 Vietnam, coach Park Hang-seo had quite harsh reactions with the referee about the situation where Trong Hoang was fouled but was not awarded a free kick.
This strong reaction from the Korean coach caused the referee to give him a direct red card and expel him from the game. This forced coach Park Hang-seo to go to the stands and hand over the control to assistant Lee Young-jin for the rest of the match.
Although sitting in the stands, Coach Park Hang-seo still directed the match through his assistants. Based on the usual punishment for players and coaches, Coach Park Hang-seo will be suspended from directing for 2 matches due to the direct red card.

However, the 30th SEA Games has ended, this tournament is not under the management of AFF, AFC or FIFA, so it is not affected by the decisions of these organizations. Therefore, Coach Park Hang-seo will not be stripped of his right to lead the 2020 AFC U23 Championship or the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
The reason is because this depends on the rules of each tournament. FIFA rules do not specify how many matches a ban is required. For example, in V.League, 3 yellow cards are required to be suspended while some tournaments only require 2 cards to be absent for 1 match.
At the 31st SEA Games, Vietnam will be the host country and the regulations will be different accordingly. And certainly, Coach Park Hang-seo will only be fined according to the regulations and will not be banned from coaching in the upcoming important tournaments.
The red card in the final match was not the first time Coach Park Hang-seo had to receive punishment from referees. Since working in Korea, he has been warned many times by referees. Even in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and SEA Games, Coach Park also received warnings and yellow cards.
