Announcing the move, the Korea Football Association cited Klinsmann’s failure to “demonstrate leadership” as one of the reasons for his departure.

“Coach Klinsmann failed to demonstrate leadership that we expected from the national team coach, including game management, player management, and work attitude, which elevate the competitiveness of the national team,” said KFA’s president Chung Mong-gyu.

Klinsmann himself also confirmed the news with a post on social media.

“To all players, my coaching staff, and all Korean football fans with sincere gratitude!” he wrote on Instagram while pointing out the fact that his team was on a 13-game streak without loss before being eliminated by Jordan in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

Klinsmann took over South Korea in February 2023 on a contract that was supposed to last through the 2026 World Cup. However, he proved to be quite an unpopular hire, with Korean media criticizing his coaching methods, lack of interest in players from the domestic K League, and questionable game tactics.

The criticism was somewhat silenced by improved performances leading to the Asian Cup, but that proved to be temporary. Despite struggling for most of the tournament, Klinsmann’s team managed to advance to the semi-finals, where Jordan exposed all of their flaws. South Korea failed to register a single shot in a 2-0 loss, renewing calls for Klinsmann’s sacking.

Klinsmann’s contract with the Korea Football Association (KFA) is valid through the 2026 World Cup, with the German coach expected to lead South Korea to the tournament.

“I know that the Korean national team has been improving and achieving results over a long period of time,” Klinsmann stated after signing his new contract. “I am honored to follow in the footsteps of the great coaches who have led the Korean national team, from Gus Hiddink to my predecessor, Paulo Bento.”

After retiring from his playing career, Klinsmann went on to become head coach of the German national team from 2004 until 2006, leading them to a third-placed finish at the 2006 World Cup. He then managed Bayern Munich in the 2008-09 season before being appointed USMNT coach in 2011; a position he held until 2016.

During Klinsman’s tenure, the United States won the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Klinsmann first joined the club as a member of the supervisory board, before being named interim manager after Ante Covic got fired. The 55-year-old manager helmed Hertha, which now sits at 14th spot in Bundesliga, in 10 league games, posting 3-3-4 record.

Klinsmann, however, won’t leave the club entirely, as he will revert to his old position in Hertha’s owning structure.

News about his departure was later confirmed by the German side on their social media.

“We were on a very good path in the relatively short time, and thanks to the support of many people, we are now six points away from the relegation places despite mostly difficult games,” said Klinsmann in a statement. “I am firmly convinced that Hertha will achieve the goal – remaining in the league.”

Jurgen Klinsmann explained that the lack of trust from the front office influenced his decision. “As head coach, however, I also need the trust of the people involved with this task, which has not yet been completed,” he added.

Klinsmann previously managed Germany’s national side, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and the United States national side.

 Multiple reports surfaced on Wednesday that Klinsmann agreed to take over Ecuador national team and that his hiring is expected to be announced in the next several days. The 55-year-old German would take over from Hernan Dario Gomez, who was fired in July after a heavy 6-1 defeat against Argentina.

Still, Galarza insists that this news is pure speculation.

“There is nothing concrete, just speculation,” – Galarza told reporters but confirmed that they already had talks with “one coach in particular.”

Besides Klinsmann, several other high-profile names were considered for the job, including Fernando Hierro, Santiago Solari, and Nestor Pekerman.

Jurgen Klinsmann is without a job since being fired as the United States men’s national soccer team’s head coach in November 2016. Klinsmann spent five years with USMNT, compiling 55-16-27 record and leading the nation to the CONCACAF Gold Cup championship in 2013 and 15th place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He previously coached Germany and Bayern Munich.
