The Korea Football Association (KFA) has wrapped up the document screening process for appointing an interim manager to lead the national football team and is set to begin the interview phase.
The KFA announced today (the 17th) that it has completed document qualification reviews and result verifications for the open recruitment of the interim manager and coaching staff, and has notified applicants of their acceptance or rejection.
Online interviews are scheduled to be conducted this week for candidates who passed the document screening.
However, the specific interview schedule is subject to some changes during the coordination process with each candidate.
The KFA added, "Considering personal information protection and the fact that the selection process is currently underway, we cannot provide detailed information on the status of applicants or the identities of those who passed."
The KFA closed document applications for the open recruitment of an interim manager on the 9th to fill the vacancy left by former manager Hong Myung-bo, who stepped down taking responsibility for the team's elimination in the group stage of the FIFA North America World Cup.
The interim head coach appointed through this process will lead the team for a total of six matches across two international windows scheduled for September to October (four matches) and November (two matches).
