It has been confirmed that Michael Mueller, former chairman of the Korea Football Association (KFA) Power Reinforcement Committee, who is known to have led the appointment of Jurgen Klinsmann as the former coach of the Korean national football team in 2023, is currently working for the Chinese Football Association.

Müller's face was spotted on the news related to the '3rd Women's Youth Soccer Tournament Seminar in 2025' posted on the official website by the Chinese Football Association (CFA) on the 15th (local time).

The CFA was held in Wuhan from May 4 to May 15 in the second round of the Women's U-18 Division A and B of the Chinese Youth League. During this period, the CFA hosted the 3rd Women's Youth Football Championship Seminar in 2025. Michael Muller, the technical director of women's football, instructor Wang Lei and Weng Xing observed the entire game, focused on the problems of the 12 teams, and interviewed the coaches of each team individually.'"

Müller formed a relationship with KFA in 2018 after serving as a full-time leader of the German Football Federation and scouting for the German U-21 national team. As the first foreigner in KFA history, he became the chairman of the technology development committee, drawing great attention. Müller, who was the chairman of the association's power reinforcement committee in January 2023, is said to have led the appointment of Klinsmann, who is from the same Germany, in the same year.

Müller hinted at the appointment of a "foreign leader" at a press conference for the inauguration of the chairman of the power reinforcement committee in January 2023, eventually appointing Klinsmann. Coach Klinsmann was replaced in February 2024, a year after taking office, due to his failure to win the Asian Cup and frequent controversies over overseas trips.

Müller is said to have been in charge of youth affairs at KFA until the end of 2024 after giving up his seat to former chairman of the Korea Electric Power Reinforcement Committee Jung Hae-sung.
