As Bento’s successor, a foreign coach was first on the list, instead of a domestic one.
Spanish radio ‘Cadena Serre’ reported, “The Korea Football Association has contacted Bordalas, former Valencia coach,” and “showed interest, such as investigating in recent weeks.”
Bordalas took charge of Spain’s Getafe and Alaves, and achieved promotion to the first division twice…
Last year, he led Valencia and won the King’s Cup runner-up.
However, in his 30 years of leadership, he has never played for a league or national team outside of Spain.

“It is important not only to play football, but also to match our football philosophy with environmental factors, such as whether there is a will to live in Korea.”
In addition, as many Spanish clubs such as Getafe and Sevilla are showing serious interest as the next manager, the possibility of actual recruitment is unknown.
