Former Korean national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who was notified of his dismissal after a year as a vice president, made an appearance in the U.S. media amid the loudness of Korean soccer.
On the 1st (local time), the U.S. sports broadcaster 「CBS Sports」 hosted a balance game with coach Klinsmann. It's a simple game of choosing 'this or that'.
Coach Klinsmann, who was in front of the camera, was first asked to choose between Stuttgart and Bayern Munich, where he was active. His answer was Stuttgart.
A striker representing Germany in the 1980s and 1990s, Klinsmann played for Stuttgart from 1984 to 1989 and for Munich from 1995 to 1997. After retirement, he took the helm of Munich, but experienced a thorough failure. He did not forget the days of Stuttgart, which opened the era of Klinsmann's success, including winning the Bundesliga's top scorer and Germany's player of the year award in 1988.
When asked to choose between the U.S. national soccer team and the South Korean national soccer team, head coach Klinsmann chose the U.S. without hesitation. Klinsmann, who has been known to live in the U.S. since his retirement, led the U.S. national team for five years from 2011 to 2016. It is the longest period of a manager's career. Coach Klinsmann made a surprise appointment to the Korean national team in February 2023, but was dismissed for the first time in a year due to poor Asian Cup performance and attendance problems. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on the 2nd that there was a problem with the process of appointing Klinsmann as a result of the Korea Football Association's audit.

In addition, Klinsmann chose Matheus, who was a teammate of German legends Lothar Matheus and Toni Kroos, and Derbi Delle Mathenina among Derbysiker and Derbi Delle Mathenina. Derclasiker is a rivalry between Munich and Dortmund, and Derbi Dele Madonnina refers to the 'Milano Derby' between Inter Milan and AC Milan. Klinsmann worked for Inter Milan from 1989 to 1992.
He chose between 'Breaking Dortmund' and 'Breaking Stuttgart Kickers" and 'Breaking Dortmund' and former U.S. national team players Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan. Coach Klinsmann was criticized for excluding Donovan, who was a symbol of U.S. soccer when he was a member of the U.S. national team, from the 2014 Brazil World Cup list. When asked to define North London in the end, Klinsmann replied with a smile: "'Fish and Chips.'"
