Why is the new head coach of Vietnam national football team nicknamed 'The Sleeper'?

Coach Park Sang Heo has become a phenomenon on Korean football fan forums with this image.

In Korea, Coach Park Hang Seo is called "Sleeping One" by football fans. The new head coach of the Vietnam national team has been associated with this nickname since his time as head coach of Sangju Sangmu Club (2012-2015).

During the match between Sangju Sangmu and Cheonbuk Hyundai Motors in the K-League, the camera caught the image of coach Park Hang Seo dozing off in the coaching cabin. The audience watching the match did not miss this moment and the screenshot quickly spread on Korean fan forums.

Coach Park Hang Seo fell asleep in the middle of the match.

This is probably the biggest mark of Coach Park Hang Seo in K-League. The coach born in 1958 started working as a head coach at the club level since 2005 and mainly worked with mid-level and weak teams of K-League.

He has played for three clubs in the K-League Classic, namely Gyeongnam, Chunnam Dragons and Sangju Sangmu. His highest position was fourth place (Chunnam Dragons in 2009). In 2017, Coach Park Hang Seo signed a one-year contract with Changwon, a club in the National League (third division)./.
