[이뉴스투데이 전북취재본부 김은태 기자] Jeonbuk Hyundai appointed Park Ji-sung, the eternal captain of Korean football, as a club advisor on the 19th.
Jeonbuk Hyundai will appoint former national team leader Ji-Sung Park as a club advisor to serve as an advisor on the selection, training and scouting, and presentation of training systems for pros and youth.
Park Ji-sung, who first made a relationship with the K-League through Jeonbuk Hyundai, plans to present a direction that has not been shown in the K-League until now by incorporating the know-how and advanced system he learned while playing in big clubs such as Japan, England and the Netherlands.
Park, who plays a part-time advisor role while traveling between the UK and Korea, will also serve as a technical director for certain areas, including transfers and recruitment of players for professional and youth teams.
During his active career, Commissioner Ji-sung participated in three World Cups in 2002, 2006, and 2010, and played an active part in the British Premier League, Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven, as the world’s best player.
Commissioner Park Ji-sung said, “I am very happy to be the first to enter the K-League,” he said. “I am so grateful for the club that provided this opportunity and will try to achieve good results with Jeonbuk Hyundai.”
He also said, “I have seen and learned from the advanced systems in Europe while experiencing various leagues from Japan, the Netherlands and the UK, and have studied a lot after retirement.” “Based on all the things I saw and learned, Jeonbuk Hyundai presented the direction to move forward and the club I will do my best to go strong and healthy.”
CEO Byeong-Gil Heo said, “The recruitment of the advisor Park Ji-sung was made to develop by integrating the global system in the overall part of the club’s pros and youth,” he said.
On the other hand, Commissioner Ji-Sung Park is scheduled to go down to Namhae, where winter training is taking place on the 22nd, and have a meeting with the athletes and coaching staff.
