South Korea’s Coach, Paul Bento Resigns After Loss To Brazil
South Korea’s coach Paulo Bento has tendered his resignation after loss to Brazil on Monday evening.
The 53-year-old, who took over the team in August 2018, made it known that he had already decided to step down after the tournament prior to travelling to Qatar, with their knockout stage loss bringing his time in charge to an end.
South Korea were unable to inspire a World Cup upset as tournament favourites Brazil brushed them aside in scintillating style in the heat of the Middle East.
Speaking at full-time, Bento announced his national team exit as he thanked his players for their World Cup efforts in Qatar.
Bento said: ‘We just have to think about the future and it will not be with the national team of South Korea.
‘I have just announced to the players and to the president of the South Korean federation and this was a decision I had already taken since September that was set in stone’.
