S. Korea three candidates to coach

[Team_Meli]

South Korea's football governing body has shortlisted three candidates, Frenchman Houllier, England's Mick McCarthy and Dane Morten Olsen were on the final list, the Seoul-based Dong-A Ilbo newspaper said, quoting an unnamed football official.

McCarthy managed Ireland
Gerard Houllier former Liverpool boss
Olsen has managed the Danish national team since 2000

The Korea Football Association would provide an annual salary of around one billion won (1.1 million dollars) to a foreign coach, the report said.

[shayan_esteghlali]

santini, schafer, reid and the other guys like scolari, mourinho.
i know why iff is taking so long to pick a coach it is because every coach in the world wants to coach iran and it is a hard choice.

Give it 5-8, and North Korean Soccer will be better than south korean soccer. From what i saw in the recent tournament (U20 etc.) the north koreans seem to be producing much better talent. However, this is assuming that the n. koreans will be allowed to go play in leagues outside of N. Korea. I was talking to a few of my korean friends and they all told me that koreans dont really care about football unless it's the world cup. The koreans dont care who becomes their coach as long as he can take them to the WC. May i suggest that Ghalenoie becomes their new coach and does us the honour of tearing apart one of asias powerhouses?

it true we iranians have football in our blood and we play for the love of the game, and we play every game like its our last, but koreans ONLY care about worlds cups and i think korea is extremely OVER rated.

they became 4th in a world cup they hosted, but they havent done anything else after that or before that.

In the asian cup we should have beaten them but they won on penalties by luck and thereis the Iran-Korea curse which a different team wins every year.

Iran won in 1996
Korea won in 2000
Iran won in 2004
Korea won in 2007

Korea won in 2007

Korea is overated and Australia is way over their head...(I can't count the number of articles in which they said that they would win the AC and crap like that)

Japan is probably the best opposition Iran has

we have better candidates

you mean they spread a few names, you like better, don't think they reall will sign one

[DRCha]

I don't see any point for a good coach if the younger players are worse than the older ones.

Iraq are getting to be extremely overrated since the AC, I hope they get knocked out of the first round, or get knocked out by TM in the final round

That may be true, but buddy, look where these people are from. This is probably the most happiness that iraqis can have for the next few years. The team probably wont make it to the WC but let them enjoy the ride.

Just make sure you prepare new excuses from now incase Iraq makes its through, because saying games Iraq's game were fixed and Iraq had an easy route arent doing the business.

Please excuse him. We all know Iraq has a fantastic team and played some great football in the AC

I surely do hope they perform as well or even better in the qualifiers and join Iran (fingers crossed) as one of the Asian teams in the WC.
