Don't wanna bash HMB so I focus on what I want the new manager to do.

In the NT, there is only limited time with players so usually teams can't use sophisticated Pep Guardiola style tactics. One exception is Japan with its 100 year plan where they have a national football tactic and a manager who has been in charge over 8 years, so they play a form of positional play that is usually difficult to implement. I hear the system was invented by Serbian manager Mihailo Petrović under which the current Japanese manager Moriyasu served. This video has a great breakdown of Japanese tactics. I actually do not want such a heavily tactical approach, but I want some flexibility.

We have Son who excels at running behind but struggles against low blocks. Many teams employ low blocks precisely because they know of this so Korea very often faces low blocks. Solutions are crosses from wide, crosses from the half spaces and shots from distance. However, it appeared to me that instructions for team Korea weren't clear for example whether the fullbacks should cross, play should go through the middle, play should go to Son or play should go to Kang-In etc. There seems to be no clear strategy. Maybe we should forget about our stars for a bit and focus on the whole team and develop a tactic which doesn't rely on any particular star players. Below video has a great analysis of low blocks at this world cup.

We need someone tactically astute who can change tactics on the go adjusting to what the opponent does. I know it sounds cheesy but modern football does have some elements of chess. It seemed that HMB just developed his tactics before the game and then sat down all game long watching everything unfold while not doing much. Also, while I can tell that many employed in Korean football watch Korean football youtubers, they should also watch foreign content and analysis, not just watch Dalsu-live, LeeStar and Lee Chun Soo and call it a day. HMB was doing lazy work and using his Kleague background as an excuse not to keep up-to-date with modern football.

P.S. I am not the creator of the youtube videos but thought they were good and they can be auto-dubbed to Korean.
