Bucheon FC manager Lee Young-min will be able to remain on the K League bench next season after South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism finalized a change to a disputed coaching qualification rule.

The ministry accepted demands from the football community and decided to revise Article 10-2 of the enforcement decree of the National Sports Promotion Act. The amendment is already undergoing public consultation, and its main provisions have taken shape.

Under the proposed changes, coaches who hold international qualifications, including P and A licenses, could receive broader exemptions from parts of the qualification examination and training process. Those procedures had previously been available only to national-team and professional players.
