There may still be some mixed feelings about Jurgen Klinsmann in the USMNT fanbase. But in South Korea, it seems like everyone hates him.

After returning to South Korea following their semifinal Asian Cup loss to Jordan, he was faced with angry fans, with someone even throwing stuff at him.

Klinsmann is under immense pressure there. They held a press conference at the airport and he had to explain what went wrong in the tournament and what are his next plans for the team.

The fans and press never liked him in South Korea, because he still lives in California since getting the job and doesn’t go to South Korea until there are games. 

He’s never present to scout players in the K-League and seems like he doesn’t care about their football development.

Things aren’t better on the pitch. South Korea didn’t look convincing at all and players seemed like they had to figure things out by themselves because there weren’t clear tactical instructions.

South Korea had arguably their best group of players in history this year— featuring Tottenham’s Son Heung-min, Bayern Munich’s Kim Min-jae, PSG’s Lee Kang-in, Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan, Mainz’s Lee Jae-sung, and Stuttgart’s Jeong Woo-yeong.

So it hurts for the Korean fans to see the team miss out on the Asian Cup again because of Klinsmann.

The German manager currently earns $2.1 million a year, and will get a huge payout if he gets sacked.
