Coach Chung Hae Seong to lead Xuan Truong's old team

Recently, the Korean newspaper Olsen suddenly reported that Incheon United Club listed coach Chung Hae-seong on the list of strategists who could take over the hot seat in this team.

Mr. Chung has enough professional qualifications and is a reputable person in Korea. In 2002, Mr. Chung and coach Park Hang-seo were two Korean assistants to coach Guus Hiddink to the World Cup semi-final at home.

Incheon United is facing a lot of difficulties. They struggled in the bottom position with 5 points after 15 rounds. Earlier in the season, coach Yoo Sang Chul broke up with the team to focus on his streatment. The Incheon Board appointed Lim Wan Sup, but his record of losing 7 consecutive matches caused him to leave on June 27.

Once again Lim Joong-yong plays the role of firefighting in the middle of the season. However, Mr. Lim does not have a coach lisence, and is only a temporary solution, so the Incheon Board needs to find a long-term solution.

Mr. Chung Hae Seong is one of two candidates along with former coach Suwon Bluewings, Lee Im Seong. However, the meeting between Mr. Lee and Incheon on August 5 did not go as expected. It is very likely that coach Chung Hae-seong will sit in the hot seat in Incheon.

The last time Coach Chung led a K-League team was in 2010. At that time, Mr. Chung replaced Coach Park Hang-seo at Jeonam Dragons. Over the years, Incheon has often struggled with relegation battles.

In 2016, this team recruited midfielder Luong Xuan Truong. Three years later, another teammate of Xuan Truong, Cong Phuong, also joined the team. The common point, however, is that both of them failed to play here.
