Verbeek Named New Soccer Coach
Monday, June 26, 2006 15:25:29
The Korea Football Association has promoted assistant soccer coach Pim Verbeek to head coach of the national team.
The association on Monday announced that it hired the 50-year-old Dutchman, who had served the team in the 2002 and this year's World Cups.
Verbeek has previously coached Netherlands Antilles and was an assistant to outgoing South Korea coach Richard Advocaat at the United Arab Emirates and the German pro team Borussia Mönchengladbach.
His first task is to prepare South Korea for next year's Asia Cup. South Korea plays its second qualifier against Taiwan on August 16th.
Advocaat will hold a news conference Tuesday morning before leaving the country in the afternoon. Reports say he will take over the Russian pro team Zenit St. Petersburg.

Sad case. Will the players bear to part with him?
But I guess they are used to these kinds of partings eh?
"Let's make it last.."

Unlike Hiddink, Advocaat didn't have as much time to "bond" with the team. So I don't really blame him. Well I do a little. But it's not really his fault. It was the referee's.
I say bring back Hiddink. Lure him from Russia with a big fat contract!

Korea hwaiting! Verbeek hwaiting!
and good luck to Advocaat with whatever he will be doing next
I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky where they don't even know all about me. I just need to feel s a f e.
I've got a thousand sweaters, and shoes, and paintings to hide the skeletons in my way.
But he said, "Slow down, slow down. Think it over, we've all got wretched closets, but silly girl pride kills more than Aids lately."
I said, "Come on, I thought it over. I don't wanna die here. I have no desire to get m♥rried."
Every night I pray for you, don't believe in heaven or that it could be a happy place.

Pim should do a fine job. he has head coach experience in the netherlands and japan. he knows the players and what they can and can't do...and he knows how the KFA works, so he knows what will be allowed and not allowed.

haha some of the netizens in korea are like "advocaat is so cute" (but not as in physical appearance) because he knows when to loosen up a bit and be silly with the korean team.
