Kim
Cheol-Yong is in the middle of
his third campaign in charge
of the Korean team after
starting at the beginning of
January, 2003 and following
stints from 1993 to 1996 and
1999 to 2000.
He will need
all that experience to see him
through a time where the
eighth-ranked team in the
world is going through a
period of rebuilding.
The 49-year-old is a stalwart
of Korean volleyball and has
the pedigree, particularly in
the Korean domestic league
where he lead his club side LG
Caltex-Oil to nine consecutive
Super League titles and a run
of 82 successive games
undefeated, but it won't be an
easy task having to shape a
squad renowned for its
tenacity and spirit but
lacking in genuine height.
After already having worked
with a young squad at the
Sydney Olympics the eighth
place result saw Cheol-Yong
replaced but his work with
Korea's dominant club side was
too good to ignore and hence
another term at the helm.
