Soccer-Roundup-Cambodia appoint new national coach

PHNOM PENH, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Soccer news in brief from around the world:

* Cambodia have hired former South Korean international Yoo Kee-heung to coach the struggling national team, the country's soccer federation said.

Yoo, whose salary will be paid for by a South Korean company, takes charge of a near-penniless team that has won nothing and sits 183rd in the world rankings. The Korean Technology Company has agreed a sponsorship deal with the team worth $205,000 a year, half of which will be Yoo's salary.

"Our new coach has already arrived," Sao Sokha, Cambodia's soccer federation president, told Reuters. "He will be with us for three years."

Yoo, 60, was a member of South Korea's coaching staff at the 1994 World Cup.

* Romanian first division club Poli Timisoara said they have signed Slovaks defenders Balasz Borbely and Milos Brezinsky on three-year deals. (Editing by Sonia Oxley)
