The famous former player Jurgen Klinsmann was unable to lead the national team to victory in the Asian Cup.
Jurgen Klinsmann is no longer the head coach of South Korea. The football federation of this country decided to remove the legendary German from his position, writes AP.
Let’s remember that recently fans criticized the work of the specialist. Among other things, fans were unhappy that Klinsmann refused to live in South Korea. And losing in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup to Jordan was the last straw.
The Korean Football Association asked the specialist to resign, and when he refused, it decided to fire him.
“After a comprehensive review, the KFA decided to replace the head coach. It is about bringing only the best to the national team, the ability to manage the players and perform well, and Klinsman did not live up to our expectations as head coach of the national team and did not show leadership qualities.
Some members of the committee noted that the coach did not express a desire to personally observe the players and find talent. In addition, the opinion was expressed that Klinsmann shows disrespect to Korean society because he does not spend enough time in the country,” KFA head Chung Mong-gyu commented on the situation.
Let’s remember that Qatar won the 2024 Asian Cup, and Cote d’Ivoire became the champion of the 2024 African Cup.
