Coach Klinsmann from Germany has taken over the helm of the national soccer team. His tenure is 3 years and 5 months, until the next World Cup. As we checked, coach Klinsman strongly demanded that Doo-Ri Cha be appointed as coach.
This is reporter Onnuri.
At the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America, our national team will be with coach Klinsman.
The Football Association announced today (27th) that Klinsmann has been appointed as the national team’s command tower, and the contract period is 3 years and 5 months.
In 2004, when I was coaching the German national team, I lived in the United States instead of residing in Germany, so there was a controversy over the so-called ‘telecommuting’, but it will be different in our national team.
Like Bento, staying in Korea during his tenure was included in the terms of the contract.
Director Klinsman said, “I am very happy and honored,” and said, “I will do my best for a successful result.”
He will return to action next week and will make his debut in a friendly against Colombia on the 24th of next month.
The coaching staff to assist the coach will be confirmed sooner or later, and the Football Association plans to form a total of four coaches, two domestic coaches and two overseas coaches.
As a result of JTBC’s coverage, Klinsman, as a domestic coach, strongly demanded the appointment of Cha Doo-ri.
He was born and raised in Germany and is fluent in German. He has already coached the national team at the World Cup in Russia, so he is the right person.
Here, at the Qatar World Cup, there is no better person as a domestic coach as he worked together as a FIFA technical committee member and learned international football trends.
However, it is known that Cha Du-ri is struggling.
If you want to work as a coach, you have to quit your current FC Seoul director, and if you become the technical vice chairman of the Football Association instead of a coach, you can do it at the same time.
As the Colombia match is approaching in a month, the Korea Football Association plans to quickly organize the coaching staff as well.
