The Korean Football Association's (KFA) overhaul of the national team is complete after the announcement of four assistant coaches to work under new boss Choi Kang-Hee.
The announcements come after Cho Kwang-Rae was replaced last month by Choi, following the Taeguk Warriors' unconvincing third round 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Former Under-17 Women's national team coach Choi Duck-Joo will be Choi's senior right hand man, while Shin Hong-Ki and Park Choong-Kyun will work as assistant. Former U-20 goalkeeper coach Kim Pung-Ju will serve the senior side in the same role.
Choi Duck-Joo previously guided Korea to victory at the 2010 Under-17 Fifa Championship and is expected to provide good analytical qualities.
"I think Choi [Duck-Joo] will make the most of his soft leadership to connect with players. He will be the bridge between other coaches and players," said senior team boss Choi to reporters.
Park previously worked alongside Choi at Jeonbuk Motors and the Korea boss hoped he'd grow into the national team role.
Korea must get a result at home against Kuwait next month in their final third round World Cup qualifier to ensure their progress to the next round.
