Life as a football coach full of hard work. Park Hang Seo once felt it. His background as a professional football player is an important provision. Even though being a player and a coach are two different things.

The man who was born in Sancheong-gun, October 1, 1957, was the first to have a career as physical coach of Lucky Goldstar (now: FC Seoul) in 1989. He continued to build himself while studying. He once had the opportunity to help Guus Hiddink when he headed the South Korean national team at the 2002 World Cup.

Bekal itu cukup bermanfaat. Career sebagai pelatih melejit di liga K League (Liga Korea). Ia pernah jadi pelatih Gyeongnam (2005-2007) hingga Changwon FC (2016/2017). Ia pun tak melewat kesempatan saat Federasi Sepak Bola Vietnam, VFF kepincut ingin menggunakan jasanya pada 2017.

Park Hang Seo did not consider it a career decline. He just wanted to prove that he was able to bring the Vietnam national team to success. He was not afraid when he saw the level of Vietnamese football which was not too flashy.

Park Hang Seo began mapping Vietnam's strength. High discipline is applied. His capacity was tested when he brought Vietnam as the second rank in the U-23 Asian Cup in 2018. He was also able to show Vietnam'satus at the 2018 Asian Games celebration.

They looked stunning until the semifinals. The Vietnamese people were proud, even though their favorite national team failed in the bronze medal match. Park Hang Seo constantly amazed the Vietnamese people.

Instead, he proved that Vietnam could become the king of Southeast Asian football. Vietnam won the 2018 AFF Cup. A sweet achievement was engraved again when the Vietnam national team won a gold medal in the 2019 SEA Games celebration.

"I know his name because the Korean coach has become a celebrity with his achievements in Vietnam. He is the head coach of the Vietnam national football team, which has achieved extraordinary results in several Asian football celebrations. Therefore I held an open interview with Vietnamese residents, I was able to ask the interviewers about their media practices related to Vietnam's national football team."

They always do their best to watch national team matches while maintaining information about the team by accessing various information channels across the border. They, for example, look for information on Facebook related to Vietnam, especially since they also visit Vietnamese news sites more often than before," explained Tae Sik Kim in the book Digital Peripheries (2020).

Park Hang Seo's genius is famous throughout Vietnam. He was praised by the Vietnamese people. The Vietnamese government did not miss it. The Vietnamese government specializes in state celebrations. At its peak, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc gave him an award on August 27, 2020.

Park Hang Seo was awarded the Order of Labor level two. The award was given to individuals with extraordinary achievements in the field of manpower, creativity, or national development. Usually the award is given to Vietnamese citizens.

However, Park Hang Seo broke through. He became the first foreign citizen to receive a sign of the honor of workers. He did not want to be proud. He considered the awarding of the award a lesson so that he would work harder to develop Vietnamese football.
