South Korea's Korea Football Association advisory committee recommended sacking head coach Juergen Klinsmann after their Asian Cup semi-final exit. Klinsmann, who managed the team for 12 turbulent months, faced criticism for the team's defeat to Jordan. The decision came after South Korea lost 2-0 to Jordan in the semi-finals, extending their 64-year wait for a third title. The Korean FA cited Klinsmann's failure in managerial capability, leadership, tactics, personnel management, and attitude as reasons for his dismissal. Klinsmann's tenure was marked by a ping pong bust-up involving Son Heung-min and allegations of managing by ego rather than tactics.
