Former Korean soccer team coach Paulo Bento (53) leaves Korea on the 13th to return to his home country, Portugal.
It has been 1,576 days since August 20, 2018, when he first entered Korea as the head coach of the Korean national team.
During Bento’s tenure as coach, Korea played a total of 57 A matches and scored just 100 points (average 1.75 goals per game).
The mid-range shot that Baek Seung-ho (25, Jeonbuk) shook the Brazilian net in the round of 16 of the 2018 Qatar World Cup
was Bentoho’s 100th goal.
Since the Korea Football Association introduced a full-time manager system in 1991, Bento is the first coach to hold the helm of the Korean national team until he succeeded in scoring 100 points.
However, this 100 points also includes an own goal scored by China’s Zhu Chenje (22, Shanghai) in a friendly match on July 20 this year. Subtracting this one goal, the total number of goals scored by Korean players is 99.
Hwang Eui-jo (30, Olympiacos) scored a total of 15 goals and Bentuho scored first, followed by Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham) with 12 goals.
Kwon Chang-hoon (28, Gimcheon) and Hwang Hee-chan (26, Wolverhampton) are tied for third place with 8 goals.
Shin-Wook Kim (34, Lion City) and Kyu-Sung Cho (24, Jeonbuk) were tied for 5th place with 6 goals each.
In addition, a total of 29 members of Bentuho shook the opposing team’s net.
In the help category, Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan tied for first place with 7 each.
Hong Cheol (32, Daegu) was in 3rd place with 5, and Kim Jin-soo and Lee Jae-seong were tied for 4th place with 4 each.
Among the players named in the top five goalscorers, Kwon Chang-hoon has never recorded an assist, while the top five assists have all scored goals.
Bentoho left a total of 55 assists, of which 54 were excluding Cristiano Ronaldo (37, Portugal) helping Kim Young-kwon (32, Ulsan) score in the third round of the Qatar World Cup group stage.
A total of 22 players have recorded at least one assist for Bentohu. 토토사이트
In terms of attack points combined with goals and assists, Son Heung-min was also first (19) and Hwang Eui-jo was second (18).
Hwang Hee-chan was next in the rankings, leaving 15 attack points with 8 goals and 7 assists.
Cho Kyu-seong only played 20 games in A-match, but with 6 goals and 2 assists, he and Kwon Chang-hoon (8 goals) tied for 4th place in attack points of Bento.
Cho Kyu-seong was a 3rd year student at Gwangju University in 2018, when Bento first took office.
However, he has now established himself as Korea’s representative striker to replace Hwang Ui-jo.
South Korea conceded 46 goals to their opponents while Bento was at the helm.
Goal loss +54 is also the highest record in the history of the Korean national team coach.
Previously, +41 left behind by coach Uli Stielike (68, Germany) was the highest record ever.
During his time as Schliliike, the Korean national team conceded 25 goals while scoring 66 goals.
Among all Korean national team coaches, current Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo (53) gave up the baton with the worst goal loss at -10.
