On Monday, Jürgen Klinsmann was named as the new head coach of South Korea’s national football team.
This will be the 58-year-old German’s third appointment as a national team coach, having previously coached Germany from 2004-2006 and USA from 2011-2016.
He is also no stranger to the top levels of club football, with a brief spell at Bayern Munich during 2008-2009 and an even shorter one at Hertha Berlin in 2019-2020.
The Korea Football Association announced that Klinsmann has been signed to lead the national side until the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in North America by three countries – United States, Canada, and Mexico.
He takes the reins from Paulo Bento, who had been in charge prior to South Korea’s defeat by Brazil at last year’s World Cup in Qatar.
