HONG KONG – South Korea face Saudi Arabia in a friendly at Newcastle United’s St James’ Park on Tuesday with Jurgen Klinsmann under severe pressure after a wretched start as coach. The German legend was appointed only in February but his South Korea side have failed...
The Korea Football Association launched a protracted search for his successor before settling on Klinsmann, a World Cup winner as a player but whose coaching career has never hit the same heights.
Then came a 1-1 home draw with El Salvador and the goal-less stalemate with Wales, the result and listless nature of the performance piling the pressure on former United States coach Klinsmann. South Korea have scored four times in five matches under Klinsmann, who was a prolific striker as a player in his pomp.
Klinsmann’s media duties away from the South Korea job have also been touted by critics as more evidence that he is not sufficiently committed to the job. “When I come to Korea, in and out, in and out, that is the only way I can improve. If not, it’s better somebody else. No problem.”
