Pohang Steelers appointed one-club man Park Tae-ha

Pohang Steelers appointed one-club man Park Tae-ha as its 13th coach to replace Kim Ki-dong, who left for FC Seoul. Park is the first professional player in Pohang's history to become a one-club man. He has a two-year contract.

Park Tae-ha, who debuted as a professional player in 1991, is an "original one-club man" who retired after playing only in Pohang until 2001. During Park's career, Pohang recorded one K-League victory (1992), one FA Cup victory (1996), and two AFC Champions League wins (1996/97, 1997/98). Park, who has been Pohang's mainstay since his debut, has scored 46 goals and 37 assists in 261 K-League matches for nine seasons excluding his military service, earning him a steady performance as a "fixer" from Pohang fans. From 1998 to 2000, he devoted himself to the team as a captain. 토토사이트

Park Tae-ha started his career as a coach at Pohang in 2005 after retiring. In 2007, he led Pohang to the K-League title with Farias as a coach. From the following year to 2011, he served as a coach and head coach for the Korean national team. In 2012, he helped the team win the K-League as the head coach of FC Seoul.

Park Tae-ha, who took charge of Yanbian in China's top-tier league in 2015, led the team that suffered from relegation the previous year to win the top-tier league and promote the team to the Chinese Super League. Since then, he has been active in Chinese soccer, leading Yanbian until 2018 and China's women's national B team until 2019.

Coach Park, who has been appointed as the technical chairman of the Korea Professional Football Federation since 2020, has been studying the latest trends of soccer tactics at the Technical Research Group of the K-League Technical Committee. For the past two years, he has been passionate as the technical chairman of the K-League, meeting and interviewing coaches of each K-League team in person and contributing columns on portal sites every winter training period.

"Pohang is a meaningful place for me. I've never forgotten about Pohang since I first joined the club," Park said. "It's an honor and pleasure to be appointed as a coach in Pohang like this. I'll do my best to prepare for Pohang's soccer."
