“We have to think about the future and whether or not I will be with the Korean team,” the Portuguese coach said, reports Xinhua.
“I will rest. I have to thank them [the players] for everything they have done. They have given us their best. I have been very proud to be their manager.”
South Korea reached the World Cup knockout stage for only the third time here after a late Hwang Hee-chan strike saw them defeat Portugal in their last group-stage encounter.

Doha (Qatar), Nov 27 (Ians) South Korea coach Paulo Bento has admitted he is frustrated at the loss of experienced defender Kim Min-Jae through injury during his side’s 0-0 draw against Uruguay. Kim won’t be available for their vital game in FIFA World Cup against Ghana on Monday night.
Bento admitted that Kim was an important loss as he brings a lot of experience to his side. “He has played every game in the Champions League for Napoli,” he said.
The injury to the defender means that South Korea found it more difficult to play the ball out of defense against Uruguay and as such, they dropped deeper against the South Americans.
Bento has come in for criticism for that tactic back in South Korea, but in fairness, as well as losing Kim Min-Jae, Bento’s plans were also hampered by Heung Min-Son’s lack of match fitness.

Doha, Nov 16 (Ians) With the 2022 FIFA World Cup approaching, the participating teams are all fine-tuning their preparations for the quadrennial gala.
The star-studded Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo are the favourites in Group H, but it is by no means a one-horse race, as Uruguay, South Korea and Ghana will all have what it takes to make the competition wide open.
Portugal enter the scene on November 24 by taking on Ghana, then meet Uruguay before their final group game with South Korea.
In 2018, Portugal crashed out in the round of 16 after a 2-1 defeat to Uruguay. And in Brazil in 2014, Portugal suffered a group stage exit despite a 2-1 victory over Ghana. Pushing the timeline backwards further, South Korea enjoyed a shock win over Portugal en route to their history-making success in 2002.
For the 2016 European champions, their confidence comes from superstar Ronaldo. The 37-year-old Manchester United hitman has struggled for...
