German coach Jürgen Klinsmann has been appointed as the successor to Paulo Bento, who led Korea to the round of 16 at the Qatar World Cup.
Meet director Jurgen Klinsmann on Today’s Newsmaker.
‘Great White Shark’, ‘Blonde Bomber’, nicknames of director Klinsman during his active career.
He was active as Germany’s leading striker in the 1990s with his high scoring ability and surprising sensational goals.
He made 108 appearances for the German national team and scored 47 goals, making him fourth all-time top goalscorer for the national team.
In particular, he is also famous as a player who scored 2 goals against Korea in 1994, including an exquisite turning shot, giving Korea a bitter defeat 2-3토토사이트.
He, who made Korea cry 29 years ago, has come as the head of the Korean national team.
As coach Klinsman took over as head of the Korean national team, his career as a national team manager is also being re-examined.
After his retirement, Klinsmann took over as head coach of the German national team, leading Germany to third place at the World Cup.
Since then, he has been active as the coach of the US national team for 5 years, winning the North and Central America Championships, and is being evaluated for leading the team to the round of 16 in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Although the name value is the best, the evaluation of his leadership is mixed.
Director Klinsmann put down the baton in the United States in 2016 and returned to Germany as coach of Hertha BSC after a 3-year hiatus.
He even made a dishonorable resignation, resigning after 77 days after a conflict with the club.
Since then, there has been a controversy with the voices exposing his leadership among the players.
As he returns to the national team after 6 years since his time in the United States, his sense of the field is still unknown.
In particular, the head coach of the Korean national team is the only one in a country who is highly anticipated by the people, but it is called the poisoned Holy Grail in that he has to endure a lot of pressure and criticism.
First of all, director Klinsman’s determination seems different.
He decided to join the Korean national team for about 3 years and 5 months until the 2026 World Cup finals in North and Central America.
During his tenure, he reportedly accepted the terms of the contract as well, living in South Korea.
However, it remains to be seen whether director Klinsman, who will be living in Asia for the first time, will be able to safely adapt to Korean culture and prove his leadership skills.
Like the nickname ‘blonde bomber’ he was called during his active career, can he inspire the Korean national team and make them laugh?
