South Korean national team

Jurgen Klinsmann has been dismissed from his role as South Korea manager following his side’s Asian Cup semi-final exit on February 6. The 59-year-old has faced criticism for continuing to base himself in Los Angeles and reports of in-fighting among the squad also chipped away at his authority. Chung Mong-gyu, president of the Korean Football Association, delivered a withering assessment of the outgoing boss.
