Sir Alex Ferguson, Hiddink are suited to coaching, not me - Park Ji-Sung

After studying Sir Alex Ferguson and Guus Hiddink in their heyday, South Korea legend Park Ji-Sung has declared that coaching is not for him, but he still wants to play a major part in the future of Asian football.

Park played under Ferguson at Manchester United from 2005 to 2012, winning four Premier League titles, as well as the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League. He was also a key member of the South Korea team who Hiddink led to the semifinals of the 2002 World Cup.

"I watched Hiddink and Ferguson at close quarters and I realised that I was not a coach," Park said in an interview with Yahoo Japan.
