An agent raised suspicions, saying that “there seemed to be a script already set” in the process of contacting the former French women’s national team coach Erber Renard during the selection of the coach.
On September 19, former Pietro, who claimed to be the head of JP Sports Group, announced the negotiation process with coach Renard on his SNS, saying, “I dedicate the truth about the process of appointing the Korean men’s national team to the Korean people.”
Coach Renard was a negotiator in the early days of the process of appointing the next coach after the dismissal of Jurgen Klinsmann. He is a Frenchman who led the national team mainly on the African stage and is a national specialist who led Morocco to the semifinals at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Pietro said, “He patiently waited until the very last minute for the KFA’s response. However, I was shocked by the KFA’s rude behavior and ended up in an uncomfortable situation where I had to apologize to Renard.”
“False facts about the coach spread through the media. Despite accepting all conditions including salary and living conditions, the association ignored them,” Pietro said. “It seemed as if there was a script already set.” It seemed as if Hong Myung-bo had been appointed in advance. 스포츠토토
However, it is different from what Park Joo-ho, a former member of the committee, said after the appointment of Hong Myung-bo as coach was announced in July. “It was a question mark as to whether he wants to be the coach of South Korea as reflected in the media,” Park said on the breakdown of negotiations with Renard. “I made an appointment to meet him, but he said no two days ago. He asked me to change the venue, but I changed it again at the end. He told me to come to Africa. I changed the venue to a place where I can’t go, so I couldn’t meet him.”
