After South Korea’s 2-0 loss to Jordan in the Asian Cup semi-final, head coach Jurgen Klinsmann faces scrutiny and potential discussions with the federation about the team’s performance. Despite having star players like Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, South Korea struggled and failed to register a single shot on target against Jordan.
Klinsmann questioned about resigning, expressed his intent to analyze the tournament and have discussions with the federation. The team’s chaotic journey in the tournament labeled as “zombie football,” raised concerns about their tactics and dependence on individual performances.
There are doubts about Klinsmann’s coaching approach and fears that captain Son might consider quitting international duty. In contrast, Jordan ranked 64 places below South Korea advanced to their first Asian Cup final and there’s growing optimism about the future of Jordanian football with players like Mousa Al-Tamari gaining attention.
The disappointment for South Korea shifts their focus to the 2026 World Cup but uncertainties surround Klinsmann and Son’s involvement in upcoming qualifiers.
