South Korea boss Paulo Bento quits after World Cup elimination

“We just have to think about the future and it will not be with the national team of South Korea,” said Bento.

“I have just announced to the players and to the president of the South Korean federation and this was a decision I had already taken since September that was set in stone.

“Today I have confirmed it and I have to thank them for everything they have done.

“They have given their very best and I have been very pleased and proud to have been their manager.”
