The appointment of me, someone who was lacking in so many ways, to a key position for four years, and the footballers and fans who have supported me, are sincerely appreciated. I would also like to extend a special thank you to our former Executive Director, who first offered to work with me and has always given me his full support.
Earlier after the Suzuki Cup, I received the Malaysian

s invitation to become the head coach of the national team. After much deliberation, we have agreed with the South Korean

Agreed to accept Malaysia's request. I am confident that we will soon be able to secure a place in the World Cup finals, given the recent performances of our national team. Also, I have recently completed the appointment of the 23 and Under 20 skipper and I think the

The national team is also making steady progress in the right direction. Considering that I have done my duty as the Chairman of National Strengthening, I have decided that it is now time for me to return to the fray as a leader.
Personally, I would have liked to return as a K-League team, but due to various circumstances such as fixtures outside the World Cup, the timing was not right. Furthermore, we recognized the potential and vision of the Malaysian national team and decided to head to Malaysia for a new challenge. Thanks again South Korea!

Support my decisions in unexpected situations.
Since taking office in 2018, I have worked to implement five objectives. 1) Establish the National Team's playing philosophy - to dominate the game through positive play to win matches 2) Establish a Manager Appointment Process - to appoint a Head Coach in line with the National Team's playing philosophy based on the principles of fairness, transparency and objectivity 3) Establish a structure for growing representative players - to manage and development of elite players from 13-23 years of age as well as late growth players 4) Establishment of Match Preparation System - Preparation and management of each player according to the National Team's style of play based on the age of training and match reporting 5) Development of Technical Managers - Technical Management is the organization of the Association led by technical experts.
With this goal in mind, our national team tries to give the fans the joy of victory and to give the South Korean

Increase even a little bit of power to increase trust in the outside world. Some of these five objectives are considered to have been successfully accomplished, while others are still considered insufficient due to the limitations of the roles assigned to them. I am confident that the unfinished tasks will be accomplished by competent successors.
Leave with gratitude and regret, but if the next time I have the chance to work for the South Korean

work, I am determined to work for the technical development of South Korean soccer. I hope that South Korea

and our soccer team continues to move forward with the love and support of the people. Thank you.
