Bye bye Bento
Paulo Bento, now former head coach of the Korean national football team, gestures to fans gathered at Incheon International Airport on Tuesday before departing for his native Portugal. Bento came to Korea in 2018, succeeding head coach Shin Tae-yong, who resigned after the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Bento managed to lead the Korean national team to the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar this year but announced his resignation after Korea crashed out of the tournament after a 4-1 loss to Brazil.
