When rumors of the appointment of Jurgen Klinsmann, the Korean men’s national soccer team coach, to Tottenham Hotspur were raised, the Korea Football Association (KFA) reacted absurdly and drew the line.
On the 17th (Korean time), through the German media’Kicker’, a report came out that coach Klinsmann was being discussed as a candidate for the next Tottenham manager.
Tottenham’s managerial position is currently vacant. Last month, she parted ways with manager Antonio Conte. Rather than rushing to find a new manager at the end of the season, Tottenham is looking for a manager to lead from next season with some time while proceeding with the agency system. Recently, they are linked with coach Vincent Kompani, who led them to promotion to Burnley, former Leicester City coach Brandon Rodgers, and former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Mauricio Pochettino, who previously directed Tottenham. In this process, director Klinsman also appeared as a candidate.
It is not at all unlikely that manager Klinsmann is mentioned as a candidate for Tottenham manager. Manager Klinsman had a body at Tottenham during his active career. He didn’t have a long season, but he scored a lot of goals, and he is treated like a legend as he plays an active role in saving the team from relegation. Through his relationship as a player, he was often mentioned as a candidate for Tottenham manager.
Coincidentally, I recently visited Tottenham. Coach Klinsman is on a business trip to Europe to check Korean European players. On the 15th, he visited Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and watched the match between Tottenham and Bournemouth and confirmed Son Heung-min’s performance. A video of Klinsman and Son Heung-min greeting each other before the game was posted on Tottenham’s official social media account.
However, considering that Klinsman has only recently taken over as head coach of the Korean men’s national soccer team, this does not seem to be reliable news. Manager Klinsman took over at the end of February and made his debut in March during his A-match period. After taking a short break after his A-match period, he is on a business trip to Europe and is carrying out Korean coaching duties.
A KFA official also responded to the report of Klinsman’s move to Tottenham, saying, “It’s absurd. I went on a business trip to faithfully carry out our work shortly after joining the national team. We are working hard for the Asian Cup in the short term and the World Cup in the long term.” 안전놀이터
