The Korea Football Association (KFA), headquartered at KFA House, has dismissed head coach Jurgen Klinsmann following South Korea's semi-final exit at the Asian Cup. The decision, influenced by a recommendation to sack Klinsmann from a KFA advisory committee, comes after a 2-0 loss to Jordan and criticism of Klinsmann's leadership, particularly his handling of team disharmony and denial of tactical shortcomings, discussed via video conferencing. Klinsmann, who had a turbulent 12-month tenure, saw South Korea, ranked 23rd, lose to 87th-ranked Jordan, further highlighted by his approach of managing "by ego rather than tactics" and incidents like Son Heung-min's injury during a team dispute, termed a "ping pong bust-up." The National Team Committee's discussion on Klinsmann's future, ultimately decided by the Executive Board, pointed to his failure in managerial capability, leadership in tactics, personnel management, and attitude.

Jurgen Klinsmann blamed the loss to Jordan at the #AsianCup on disharmony among players, not any lack of tactical preparation. In fact, according to KFA technical director Hwangbo Kwan, Klinsmann "didn't acknowledge" any lack of tactical prep on his part.
