Yoo Sang-Cheol is New Daejeon Boss

by Liam Birch

2002 World Cup hero Yoo Sang-Cheol has been confirmed as the new manager of Daejeon Citizen.

New Daejeon CEO Kim Kwang-Hee has moved quickly to replace Wang Seon-Jae, who was sacked as manager following the revelations that 13 Daejeon Citizen players had accepted money for rigging games.

The new appointment comes at a critical time in Citizen's history, with uncertainty surrounding the future of the club. Daejeon have been on a horrific run of late, conceding 14 goals in the last two games against Pohang and Gyeongnam, prompting many commentators to speculate that the players were unhappy at Wang's departure.

Yoo's first game in charge will be at the Purple Arena against bottom club Gangwon.
