Former coach and captain Hong Myung-bo will return to guide South Korea's national men's soccer team, the governing body said on Sunday, five months after the dismissal of Jurgen Klinsmann.

Klinsmann, a World Cup winner as a player in 1990, was dismissed after South Korea's disappointing semifinal exit from the Asian Cup in February.
