27/6/2006 17:09
Dick Advocaat bid his farewell to South Korea today and left for Russia
for his new coaching job.
Advocaat did not renew his contract to coach South
Korea after they were eliminated from the Germany World Cup last week.
The
Ductchman, who had led the team since last September, highly commended the
performance of South Korean players during the tournament.
"We were unbeaten
in seven matches at home since I took control of the team," Advocaat said in a
farewell news conference in Seoul.
At the conference, he confirmed two South
Korean players, defender Kim Dong-jin and midfielder Lee Ho, will join him at
the Russian professional football club Zenit Saint Petersburg.
South Korean
Football Association announced Monday that Pim Verbeek, Advocaat's assistant,
will take over as the national team coach.
