Klinsmann's 'absurd move' after going home..

 Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany) national soccer team coach has left for the United States again. It has been just two days since he returned to the country after failing to win the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. Even though the fans' anger is boiling over, the Korea Football Association is unable to even come up with a position. Even follow-up schedules such as the Power Strengthening Committee and even Director Klinsmann's attendance at the meeting are 'undecided.' It is truly a total crisis, the bitter current state of Korean soccer.

According to the Football Association on the 12th, Coach Klinsmann already left for the United States two days ago and is resting at his home. At the time of the entry interview after failing to win the Asian Cup on the 8th, he said, “I plan to leave the country next week,” but Coach Klinsmann went ahead of schedule and quietly left the country during the Lunar New Year holiday. He announced his plan to rest at his home and then move to Europe to check on the Europeans again. The controversy over staying at home and traveling abroad, which had been criticized throughout his tenure, continued again right after the Asian Cup ended in failure.

The 2023-24 AFC Champions League (ACL) schedules of K League teams such as Jeonbuk Hyundai and Pohang Steelers on the 14th and Ulsan HD and Banfore Kofu (Japan) the following day are not even in mind. Throughout his tenure, criticism arose that he was neglecting the K-League, and in fact, even in this Asian Cup, nothing has changed even though the dependence on European teams was on the chopping block. There was no apology, reflection, or responsibility for the failure of the Asian Cup, and the only plan was to leave the country as soon as possible, rest, and check on the European team.

It is even unclear when Coach Klinsmann will return. An official from the Football Association said in a phone call with this newspaper, “Coach Klinsmann’s return schedule has not been decided.” When Coach Klinsmann returned to Korea, he said, “I plan to take a short break and then go to Europe to watch the games of Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Son Heung-min (Tottenham), and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich). “I don’t think I will be able to be away for a long time as the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup 2nd qualifying round is just around the corner,” he said. Looking back, after resting at home, he traveled to Europe and returned to the A-match period in March. It is likely that he will return home according to .

He has drawn a line between himself and the possibility of his voluntary resignation. His confidence in saying, “If the Asian Cup results are not good, you can fire me,” now appears to have changed into shamelessness. He headed to Qatar, shouting for his first win in 64 years, and even shouted for the domestic reporters to extend their stay until the finals. When he failed to win the championship despite leading the best team ever, he bluntly said, “The Asian Cup semifinals cannot be considered a failure.” He further made it clear that he has no plans to step down, citing the World Cup qualifiers scheduled for next month.

Not only did they fail to win the Asian Cup, but their performance throughout the tournament was poor, and there was not even a word of apology or reflection regarding this. The national team is being led by a head coach who has no intention of even changing his work methods, which have been criticized throughout his appointment. The fact that not only national petitions but also the political world suddenly joined in and began to voice criticism that Director Klinsmann should be dismissed means that national public opinion is boiling over.
