South Korea’s head coach has stepped down after the national team failed to secure a spot in the World Cup following a poor group-stage showing. Both BBC Sport and BBC News report that the elimination occurred because the team did not qualify as one of the eight best third-placed sides. This exit has triggered an unusual presidential intervention, with government officials calling for a formal investigation into the campaign's failures. Whether this political probe will lead to systemic reforms within the national football body or merely serve as a symbolic response to fan frustration remains to be seen.
