Kim Do-hoon will lead South Korea in World Cup qualifiers against Singapore and China in June after the Korean Football Association (KFA) failed to line up a permanent coach to replace Jurgen Klinsmann in time.
German Klinsmann was sacked in February after his team crashed out in the semifinals of the Asian Cup, failing to record a single shot on target in the 2-0 loss to Jordan despite having the likes of Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in in the team.
Under-23 coach Hwang Sun-hong led the senior side to a 1-1 draw and 3-0 win over Thailand in the last round of World Cup qualifiers in March and the KFA had hoped to announce a new permanent coach before the June fixtures.
