From 'Gi Captain' to 'Gi Coach'.
The second act of former national team captain Ki Sung-yueng (35, Seoul) will be held.
Ki Sung-yueng held a personal social networking service (SNS) on the 5th and said, `Finally completed the A license"He directly disclosed the fact that he obtained a leadership certificate.
Ki Sung-yueng, who is heading to Europe after a short break after completing the entire 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' season, appears to have completed all of the UEFA A licensing courses.
The UEFA A Licence is a certificate that is one step below the UEFA Pro Licence, and holders of the A Licence can be a youth team under the age of 18, a reserve (B) team of a top-tier club, and a manager of a men's professional second division club.
This means that if Ki Sung-yueng takes off his soccer boots and starts as a coach right away, he can be appointed as the head coach of the U-18 youth team, the professional club B team, and the second division club.
Ki Sung-yueng "The process was not easy, but I watched a lot, listened to it, learned it, and watched soccer again."I also thought it was really not easy to guide someone. It was such a pleasant time."
He then appealed, "'Now it's possible to coach Ki-Coach.'"

Ki joined Seoul in 2006 at the age of 17 and had a 10-year European career with Celtic, Swansea City, Sunderland, Newcastle United, and Mallorca from 2010 to 2020. He returned to his home city of Seoul in 2020 and has been active for four seasons.
Ki Sung-yueng recently went to Europe, including Wales, to take the leadership course. Ki Sung-yueng, who visited Europe to take the UEFA B License course in December last year, met with Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, Celtic coach Brandon Rogers, then-Celtavigo coach Rafael Benitez, and then-Brighton coach Roberto de Gervi.
"I thankfully explained well what I was curious about, including De Zerby's philosophy, tactical movements and how he trained his players with tactics. It is also true that I have more thoughts after meeting so many coaches in England.
Ki Sung-yueng continued his career in Seoul, which was changed to Kim Ki-dong's system this year, but he always has a leader in mind. In the near future, we may see a Korean leader operating in Europe.
However, completion of the UEFA A license does not necessarily mean that he will retire. Actor Han Hye-jin, Ki Sung-yueng's spouse, commented on Ki Sung-yueng's SNS post, "Not yet".
