Fans send funeral wreaths to the president of the Korean Football Federation

The South Korean national team is still unable to end its 64-year Asian Cup title drought, with Jurgen Klinsmann's side exiting the tournament after a 0-2 defeat to Jordan in the semi-finals. This defeat puts the German strategist at great risk of being sacked after less than a year in charge.

On February 15th, the Korean Football Association held a technical committee meeting in Seoul. The team's defeat was thoroughly analyzed, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Officials from the Korean Football Association repeatedly criticized coach Jurgen Klinsmann, claiming the German strategist was the main reason for the team's failure.

Chung Mong-gyu faced heavy criticism.

Outside the meeting, South Korean national team fans staged a protest against the Korean Football Association. They demanded the resignation of chairman Chung Mong-gyu and coach Jurgen Klinsmann, with some even sending funeral wreaths to chairman Chung Mong-gyu.

Previously, the president had been boycotted for pardoning players involved in match-fixing, a move unacceptable to fans. This was followed by the appointment of coach Jurgen Klinsmann, the 59-year-old strategist who had not achieved any further notable success since leading Germany to third place at the 2006 World Cup.

Coach Jurgen Klinsmann has returned to the United States and could only attend the meeting online. The Korean Football Association's technical committee recommended dismissing Klinsmann after a three-hour meeting. Hwang Bo Kwan, the KFA's technical director, stated: " For several reasons, we have concluded that Klinsmann no longer demonstrates the leadership qualities required of a national team head coach. We will report our conclusions to the KFA ."
