After the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, there were many cases of coach dismissals, including Coelho, Bonfrere, Verbeek, Cho Kwang-rae, and Stielike.

Korean soccer parted ways with coach Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany) before even a year had passed. Since the introduction of the full-time director system in 1992, he was the first foreign coach to leave after less than a year.

On the 16th, Korea Football Association President Chung Mong-gyu announced the dismissal of coach Klinsmann at the Football Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, saying, “After comprehensive review of the discussion, the Korea Football Association has finally decided to replace the national team coach.” 카지노사이트

Coach Klinsmann was sacked on the 7th after being criticized for his loss in the semifinals of the '2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup' against Jordan and his lack of leadership that failed to prevent clashes between Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).

As a result, Coach Klinsmann, who took the helm of the national team as the successor to former coach Paulo Bento on February 27 last year, left after one year without completing the contract period until the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup.

According to the records of past national team coaches in the archives of the Football Association's official website, Coach Klinsmann became the fastest coach to be dismissed since the full-time coach system was introduced in 1992.

The dismissal of coaches leading the Korean national soccer team is not unfamiliar. As it became a sport receiving national attention after reaching the semifinals of the 2002 FIFA Korea-Japan World Cup, there were many instances where players left the team without completing their term due to failing to live up to expectations.

Before the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, there was a case in which former coach Cha Bum-geun, a 'Korean soccer legend' who was leading the 1998 France World Cup, was dismissed during the tournament for the first time in history.

Among the previous coaches who led the national team after the 2002 World Cup, coach Humberto Coelho (Portugal) was dismissed.

Coach Coelho, who was the first foreign head coach since former coach Guus Hiddink, took over in 2003. · However, he failed to live up to expectations and was sacked after a 0-0 draw against Maldives in the second qualifying round of the FIFA World Cup Germany in March 2004.
