Coach Gus Foye (57), who took office as the new head coach of Jeonbuk Hyundai, declared the revival of 'Shut Up and Attack'. Coach Foye held a press conference at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 30th to inaugurate the Jeonbuk head coach. More than 70 reporters gathered to prove their interest in director Foyet, who is considered to be the "great named leader of all time".
He has a brilliant career. He spent his active years with Chelsea and Tottenham, and even after retirement, he was recognized for his leadership by leading the team to fourth place in the English League 1 (third division) and the Championship (second division). He is a veteran of various leagues including Sunderland (England), AEK Athens (Greece), Real Betis (Spain), Bordeaux (France), and Cattolica (Chile). He also leads Shanghai Shenhua (China) and has experience in Asian soccer. Above all, he was mentioned as a candidate for the coach of the Korean national soccer A team last summer.
Before the press conference, Foyet said, `First of all, I would like to express my condolences to those who were killed in yesterday's accident. We express our deepest sympathy for the victims of the Muan Jeju Air plane disaster. He said "I got a good feeling for Jeonbuk's offer. I felt that it was my place. I believe that there is a fate at times over the fact that last summer's failed trip to Korea was made. I think there's a reason why everything happens.'"It's a big challenge for me. But the reason why I came to Korea is simple. Because I wanted to win."

He also showed his willingness to revive Jeonbuk, which had only disappointing results. "I think history, fans and tradition are the strengths of this club. I think the disadvantage is the result of the 2024 season. But the past is the past, "and from today, I will prepare, thinking that I will start from zero again." We also want to solidify our winning philosophy and achieve better results. Understanding soccer comes first. We should play soccer that everyone enjoys. I'm going to play more aggressive soccer to win. I hope the fans can also enjoy our new soccer." Also "I'm not just here to learn. We know what to do and what to show. I will help the players as much as I can to win. I have a sense of responsibility. I'm ready, and I'll show you.'"
Coach Foyet will lead the team to Thailand on the 2nd of next month and then train in winter in Hua Hin and Bangkok. On February 13 (Korea time), the official schedule will begin with the first leg of the round of 16 of the Asian Champions League (ACL) against Port FC at BG Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. It is a rather tight time in various areas, such as not only identifying teams and players, but also adapting to Korean culture.

Director Foyet, who emphasized the importance of communication, said "I think I have the ability to experience many countries and understand culture quickly. I want to improve my competitiveness by learning the basics about Korea." "The K-League is technically outstanding and aggressive," he said. Our team was not at the highest level in the league last year. I'll show you a different side of me in the new season through analysis and communication"I understand how hard it was for the fans in 2024. Now you have to play soccer that shows the fans without asking them. We should present our fans with victory as much as possible. I want to re-establish the club's history."
