The head coach of the Korean men's handball team has been vacant for about a year. The Korea Handball Association started the process of hiring the men's national team coach in February. Cho Young-shin was selected as the final candidate after the document screening (February) and interview screening (March) by the National Leader Selection Committee. The new coach Cho will lead the men's national team to a high-intensity tempering with the aim of recapturing the top of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games and Asian Championships in 2026.
Coach Cho guided the national team to a gold medal at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. As the men's national team coach in 2019, he led a unified team of South and North Korea to the World Men's Handball Championships. On the domestic stage, he has gained experience by leading the military athletic unit Sangmu Finix. He is known as a leader with tactical perfection and strengths in finding young players.
Cho said, `It is an honor and a great burden to take on the heavy responsibility for the re-leap of Korean handball. We will constantly communicate with the players and prepare for good results on the world stage."
Meanwhile, Park Sung-rip, former coach of the men's junior national team, was appointed as a coach to assist Cho. New coach Park, who has a number of coaching experiences, has been recognized for his leadership by leading the team as head coach of SK Sugar Gliders in the 2019-2020 season. Coach Cho and coach Park will complete the selection of players at the end of April and lead the men's national team to Jincheon Training Center in May. After that, the team plans to begin intensive training and refine the power of the new national team.
