Jurgen Klinsmann faces sack by South Korea after Asian Cup semi-final exit

Firstpost  

Jurgen Klinsmann looks set to be fired as coach after top South Korean football officials said Thursday that “a change of leadership is necessary” following their Asian Cup exit and in-fighting among star players. “We’ve reached a consensus that Klinsmann cannot exercise his leadership as national team head coach for various reasons and that a change of leadership is necessary,” Hwangbo Kwan of the committee said. After a three-hour meeting, Hwangbo said the committee had decided Klinsmann’s “tactical preparation fell short” during the team’s disappointing Asian Cup campaign in Qatar. He added: “Klinsmann said there was discord among squad members and it affected their performance.” Klinsmann attended the meeting on a video conference from his home in the United States, Yonhap news agency reported.
