Park was the head coach of Myanmar and Myanmar under-23s, until his dismissal on 16 December 2013, two weeks before his contract ran out. His sacking was caused by a 1–0 defeat to Indonesian under-23 team in the group stage of the 2013 Southeast Asian Games. Myanmar hosted the competition, but was eliminated before the knockout stage due to this defeat.^[2][3][4]
