New York, July 6 -- Chung Mong-gyu resigned as president of the Korea Football Association on Monday as the fallout from South Korea's disappointing World Cup campaign continued.
Chung's departure follows that of head coach Hong Myung-bo after South Korea failed to reach the knockout stage, finishing third in Group A with three points.
South Korea defeated the Czech Republic but lost to Mexico and South Africa.
Announcing his resignation, Chung acknowledged both the successes and failures of his tenure,according to Xinhua.
"There were moments when I lived up to expectations and moments when I left you deeply disappointed," he said.
