Jurgen Klinsmann's possibility of going to China continues to be mentioned.

On the 4th (Korean time), China's Sohu Dotcom shed light on Klinsmann's rumors that he could become a new coach candidate for the Chinese national soccer team. The media said 'With several names being mentioned, it is Clinsman who became the most talked about. The 61-year-old German coach recently split from the South Korean national team and has been mentioned by some as a `potential candidate' for the Chinese national team.

Coach Klinsmann's evaluation in China seemed to be quite good. Although Klinsmann was the main culprit for ruining Korea's best golden generation, he said he had a lot of experience in Asian soccer.




Sohu said 'Clinsman's relationship with Asian soccer began when he took over the Korean national team. It is difficult to say that those days were successful, but it has an advantage in that it has at least some understanding of the style and problems of the Asian team. This part is definitely superior to foreign directors who have no experience in Asia at all, he said. It is true that coach Klinsmann has experienced Korean soccer and Asia, but it is questionable whether he understands it properly.

Additional reports were also made. Chinese media outlet Wang Yi said on the 5th 'In fact, Klinsmann has been interested in the Chinese national team for a long time. Even before Marcello Lippi stepped down and Li Tie took over, Klinsmann expressed interest in the Chinese head coach position, but in the end, China chose Li Tie, and cooperation fell through when South Korea chose Klinsmann. However, as the Chinese national team is in dire need of a new leader and Klinsmann is still interested in the Chinese team, there is a good possibility that cooperation between the two sides will take place. What's left is negotiations between the association and Klinsmann, he said, predicting that there is a possibility of a settlement if Klinsmann and the Chinese Football Association proceed with negotiations.

The above media even summoned Klinsmann's visit to the Great Wall. The media said 'Clinsman has visited China in the past, and while touring the Great Wall, 'If you don't see the Great Wall, you're not a true hero.'" He previously led the Korean national team for a year, and prior to that, he was in charge of the U.S. national team for five years, the German national team for two years, and Bayern Munich for one year. Overall, the 61-year-old German football legend has not had a long leadership career, but all of his teams have been strong. However, the grades are rather ordinary. We will have to see if he will lead the Chinese national team.'"

It's hard to say that grades were normal. This is because the achievements in Korea were truly disastrous. This is because it was the first time that public opinion has been so fiery toward the Korean coach. If head coach Klinsmann heads to China, the current China, which is considered the worst, is likely to fall into a darker period. However, as of now, Clinsman's rumor about his trip to China has not been confirmed.
