Press conference at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 2:30 pm on the 30th.
Uruguayan coach Gus Poyet, who was appointed as the 9th head coach of professional soccer K-League 1 Jeonbuk Hyundai, pledged to rebuild a famous team through victory.
Coach Poyet said at Jeonbuk’s inauguration press conference held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 2:30 pm on the 30th, “It is an honor to be a part of such a big club. “I want to meet the players and meet the fans,” he said.
He continued, “Now we have to play soccer by showing the fans, not asking them,” and “We have to give the fans as much as we can through winning and good performances.” “I want to re-create the club’s history,” he added.
Jeonbuk is a powerhouse representing the K-League, but this season was poor, including its first-ever promotion playoff (PO).
Although he succeeded in staying in the promotion PO by defeating Seoul E-Land in K League 2, he parted ways with coach Kim Doo-hyun and handed the baton to coach Poyet in order to turn around the 2025 season.
Lee Do-hyun, Jeonbuk general manager, said in a briefing before the press conference, “Rather than the manager’s reputation or experience, I highly evaluated the manager’s trust and leadership based on communication.” He gave me a lot of sympathy. “He showed considerable interest and enthusiasm in the club’s project,” he said, explaining the background to the appointment of coach Poyet.
Coach Poyet is evaluated as the most famous foreign coach in K-League history.
Having coached Brighton, Sunderland (England), AEK Athens (Greece), Real Betis (Spain), Bordeaux (France), and the Greek national team, he was considered a candidate to coach the Korean national team before Hong Myung-bo was appointed as head coach of the Korean men’s soccer team. He is also a person who has been mentioned.
Coach Poyet said, “I think he will be a good fit (with Jeonbuk). There was also a good feeling about the club’s vision. I decided because I thought it would be good for my career. “Jeonbuk hasn’t had good results (recently), but I came here with the idea that I could raise the club’s pride,” he said, expressing his thoughts on taking office.
He continued, “I’m going to have fun doing it. Next season we will play a little more attacking football. “This club plays to win, so we will play aggressively next season as well,” he said. “I hope the fans who come to the stadium will also enjoy it,” adding, “Jeonbuk’s previous style of Dakgong (attack-oriented soccer) will be played on the ground.” He added that he would.
Also, regarding the background of coming to Jeonbuk while reducing his salary, he explained, “I am attracted to learning new things such as the fans, the club, the history of the club, the league, and the people, and the most important thing among them is winning,” and “I came to win.” .
However, he did not say anything about specific goals and the soccer that will be shown in the K-League.
He said, “Next year’s goal is to raise the rankings significantly. “A lot of change is needed and we need to have realistic goals,” he said. “It would be nice to win (right next season), but I think we will be able to say exactly what the (season) goal is in June of next year.”
He added, “We know what we need to do and what we need to show. “We will try to help the players as much as possible to win,” he said. “It is not easy to reveal (the soccer we will pursue to the media) before the players meet. “I am ready and I will show it,” he emphasized.
