Power Enhancement Committee meeting. Klinsmann attends via video conference

A meeting will be held on the 15th that will determine the fate of coach Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany), who is under pressure to be fired after losing in the semifinals of the Asian Cup in Qatar, and the specific results are scheduled to be announced this afternoon.

The Korea Football Association will hold the 1st National Team Power Strengthening Committee of 2024 at the Jongno-gu Football Center from 11 am on this day.

Committee members including Chairman Michael Muller, Jeong Jae-kwon (Hanyang University coach), Kwak Hyo-beom (Professor at Inha University), Kim Hyun-tae (Daejeon Hana Citizen Power Strengthening Office Director), Kim Young-geun (Gyeongnam FC scout), and Song Joo-hee (Gyeongju KHNP coach) will attend the site.

Director Klinsmann will attend via video from his home in the United States. Professional soccer K-League head coaches Park Tae-ha (Pohang Steelers coach), Cho Seong-hwan (Incheon United coach), and Choi Yun-gyeom (Chungbuk Cheongju coach) are also scheduled to participate via video conference.

The results of the meeting will be announced at the soccer center around 2 p.m. on this day.

Amid strong public criticism against Coach Klinsmann and Korea Football Association President Chung Mong-gyu, and with the circumstances surrounding the national team violence being revealed during the Asian Cup, Korean soccer is in a total crisis.

Attention is being paid to whether a conclusion regarding Director Klinsmann’s future will be reached following today’s Power Strengthening Committee meeting. On the 13th, the Korea Football Association predicted a quick decision, saying, “There will be a power reinforcement committee meeting within this week, and the final decision will be announced as soon as possible.” 19가이드03
