The Korea Football Association (KFA) announced on the 15th that it will hold an executive meeting on the 16th to discuss national team issues, including the proposal to sack coach Jurgen Klismann.

The Football Association announced on this day that it will hold an executive meeting on issues related to the national football team at the Football Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul from 10 am on the 16th. At this event, along with key executives, Football Association President Chung Mong-gyu, who decided to recruit Klinsmann as former manager Paulo Bento’s successor, will also attend. However, the Football Association announced that the executive meeting was held privately and there was no set schedule for announcing the results.

On this day, the Football Association’s National Team Strengthening Committee held the first Strength Strengthening Committee meeting in 2024 and held a briefing, saying, “Regarding the future of the head coach, for these various reasons, it has been determined that Coach Klinsmann will no longer be able to continue to exercise leadership as the national team coach and the opinion is that a replacement is necessary. “This has been gathered in general,” he said, adding that he would report the contents and conclusions to the association.

At the same time, the Power Strengthening Committee recommended the dismissal of Coach Klinsmann to the association, pointing out problems such as lack of tactical preparation, failure of internal team management, and frequent overseas trips. However, the Power Strengthening Committee is an advisory body and does not have the authority to directly decide on the national team’s coach, so it appears that a decision will have to be made by the association’s leadership, including Chairman Chung, who received this recommendation.

The national soccer team has been playing since the middle of last month with the goal of winning the Asian Cup held in Qatar. However, on the 7th of this month, they lost 0-2 in the semifinals against Jordan, and coach Klinsuman faced public opinion that he should be sacked. To make matters worse, the fact that Coach Klinsmann left for the United States two days after returning home after the tournament and that there was a conflict between national team players centering on key players Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in became known to the outside world, raising voices questioning Coach Klinsmann’s leadership. It got darker.
