Football officials recommend firing of Jurgen Klinsmann as S. Korea head coach

SEOUL, South Korean football officials recommended the dismissal of Jurgen Klinsmann as head coach of the men's national team on Thursday, putting the ball in the court of their besieged leader to make the final call. The National Team Committee of the Korea Football Association (KFA) reached its decision earlier Thursday during its postmortem meeting at the KFA House in Seoul on the country's disappointing semifinal exit at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. In addition to Michael Muller, head of the committee, and his committee members, Klinsmann attended the meeting on a video conference from his U.S. home. Source: Yonhap News Agency
