Choi Jong-jin, who took office as the 11th CEO of Pohang Steelers, joined POSCO (then Pohang Iron and Steel) in 1989 and has held key positions since then.

Choi Jong-jin said, “Surpassing 50 years since its founding and looking toward 100 years, we will do our best to become the undisputed top professional football club in Korea that empowers and is loved by the citizens of Pohang.”

Coach Park Tae-ha, the first and only one-club man coach in the club’s history, said, “Pohang has been a meaningful place to me since I first joined as a player, and it is an honor to be appointed as the head coach. I will do my best to show Pohang’s football.”

Mayor Lee Kang-deok said, “I sincerely congratulate President Choi Jong-jin and Coach Park Tae-ha, who truly love Pohang Steelers, the top professional football club, on taking the new leadership roles. We will continue to support Pohang Steelers together with the citizens so that they can create the strongest football history.”

Pohang Steelers, the oldest professional football club in Korea, enhanced the reputation of Pohang as a football city by achieving a great success last year by winning the FA Cup.
