Kans Shin Tae-yong Returns To Small Village, South Korea Will Be Trained By Former Manchester United Players

Shin Tae-yong seems to have canceled his bounce off the South Korean national team (doc. AFC) list of coaches.

JAKARTA - The concern of Indonesian supporters about Shin Tae-yong, which is reportedly being looked at by other countries, seems to be easing. After being widely glanced at by the South Korean Football Federation (KFA), the chance to move Shin began to shrink.

This situation occurred because currently South Korea has lowered their interest in Shin Tae-yong to lead Son Heung-min and colleagues.

KFA is currently said to be more inclined towards foreign coaches than sending Shin back to his hometown.

The figure who is said to be the target of becoming the coach of the South Korean national team is former Manchester United player, Steve Bruce.

This news is known from the news published by one of South Korean media, Joong Ang Daily. Quoted on Monday, February 26, 2024, the media reported on the interest of the former Manchester United player in training the South Korean national team.

"According to various reports, Bruce is interested in leading the South Korean national team which spent a year full of turmoil under manager Jurgen Klinsmann," Joong Ang Daily wrote in his report.

If you look at his coaching history, Steve Bruce has never coached a national team at all. Since 1998, his coaching career has been spent in England by coaching Premier League and Championship clubs.

Steve Bruce is known to have been unemployed for the last two years. The last club he handled was West Bromwich Albion in 2022.

If he accepts KFA's proposal, the South Korean national team will be the first national team handled by the 63-year-old tactician.
