Another World Cup coach quits after being branded ‘incapable’ by his country’s president

Hong Myung-bo's resignation following South Korea's early exit from the World Cup underscores the intense pressure coaches face when national expectations aren't met. President Lee Jae Myung's harsh critique that Myung-bo was "incapable" of leading the team to success sparked this decision. This incident highlights how political and media scrutiny can exacerbate the already high-stakes environment of international sports management, potentially influencing future hiring and retention practices for national team coaches.
