Former SBS Sports commentator Lee Do-hee will take on a new challenge. He is the head coach of Iran's U-23 national team.

Korean women's volleyball legend Lee Do-hee left for Iran via Incheon International Airport on the 18th.

Coach Lee Do-hee, who is about to leave the country, is planning to transform the national team Iran into a team that adapts to technology and change. I'll make a team that grows" conveyed his aspirations.



Coach Lee Do-hee will be responsible for not only the head coach of the under-23 national team, but also the role of a technical committee member for the under-17 (U-17) and under-19 (U-19) national team.

Coach Lee Do-hee said, `I received a lot of experience know-how from Coach Park Ki-won, who was praised as the father of Iranian volleyball as leading the great success of Iranian men's volleyball. As a leader who promotes Korean volleyball in a responsible manner, I will make efforts with a sense of duty."



Coach Park Ki-won, who is leading the Thai men's volleyball team, helped greatly in this overseas expansion. Director Park met with Director Lee Do-hee and said, `I am confident that I will show the ability of the Korean leader``````````.

Coach Lee Do-hee's overseas expansion adds meaning in the reality that domestic professional teams have increased their choice of foreign coaches and the famine of domestic female leaders.



Team Cube CEO Kim Sung-woo said, `We support the new challenge of coach Lee Do-hee, who led the heyday of Korean women's volleyball. We hope that more leaders and players will advance to the overseas stage and that experience will bring a new wind to Korean volleyball."
