When appointing a director, age or youth is often discussed. The atmosphere in appointing a manager varies slightly, with some preferring a young leader and other times choosing an old leader. However, in general, there are relatively many cases where a young leader is preferred to an old leader. This is because the front office thinks that young leaders are easy to handle.

‘Being young’ gives the impression of being ambitious, passionate, constantly working, and enterprising. But this is actually just a prejudice. There are many people who don't try hard even when they are young. Of course, the opposite is also true. Even experienced, veteran coaches cannot do everything well. Supervisory ability is completely different depending on how you worked to achieve good results during your time as a manager and how you worked to become a better leader. Just as young leaders should not focus solely on their ‘biological youth,’ veterans should not focus solely on their managerial experience.

A good manager should speak of good results. He has to take control of the squad and train them well. You must control the team with excellent tactics and strategies. Only when one is morally and ethically clean can one's spirit stand. Rather than trying to do everything alone, you must have the humility to receive help from those around you. An attitude of constant research is also necessary to learn and not miss out on international soccer trends. If you don't work hard and study, you are already a 'dead' leader no matter how young you are. Conversely, even if you are an old leader, if you always work hard and always study, you are a ‘young’ leader.
