The first official appearance of ESPN Broadcast Panel after ruining Korea

On Feb. 16, the Korea Football Association replaced Klinsmann. Klinsmann took the helm of the Korean national team on Feb. 27 last year, but had to leave the team less than a year after signing his contract. He was evaluated as the worst coach in history.

Over the past year, Klinsmann has created a much bigger and bigger problem than everyone feared when the association chose Klinsmann. His promise to stay in Korea disappeared when he suddenly mentioned the standards of global soccer. Coach Klinsmann, who traveled abroad and observed only Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Kang-in, created a controversy over his attitude by frequently making regular appearances on ESPN and conducting interviews with various media.

Meanwhile, Korean soccer, which had reached the round of 16 at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, collapsed. Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, Kim Min-jae, and Hwang Hee-chan all ran for the Asian Cup title with the best records ever, but failed to advance to the semifinals. After the Asian Cup, public opinion focused on Klinsmann's replacement. 50 million Koreans were enraged by Klinsmann's "incompetence" during the competition.

Even at the last place where he could defend himself, Klinsmann used the discord between Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in as an excuse for his performance deterioration, showing his ugly performance to the end. In the end, the KFA's choice was to dismiss Klinsmann. As soon as he heard the news of his replacement, Klinsmann continued to be the worst coach to the end, cancelling his followers on the Korean national team's SNS.

After not showing much progress for about a month, he appeared on the ESPN panel. It was time to talk about Tottenham, where Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are playing, just as he did when he was the head coach of the Republic of Korea. Recently, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou left a comment saying, "Our goal is not fourth place," which ESPN has set up to analyze.

Klinsmann said, "Postecoglou is right. One wants to achieve the maximum possible. Tottenham got off to a very good start at the beginning of the season, but now their rankings have dropped a bit. They are now competing for fourth place, as fourth place could qualify for the European Champions League (UCL) next season. I completely understand Postecoglou's message. He is ambitious and wants to make something very special at Tottenham."

"It will take some time. It also took Mauricio Pochettino a while to advance to the UCL final (at Tottenham). It is normal for Postecoglou to be a little anxious and maybe impatient because he wants to reach it the fastest. It is possible, but it will take some time."

With the disappointing performance in Hertha Berlin and the worst director in Korea, Klinsmann is now expected to give up his career as a leader and continue his celebrity-like moves such as panels.
