Korean national football team coach Jurgen Klinsmann (59, Germany) mentioned Cha Doo-ri (42), head of the FC Seoul Youth Strengthening Office.
The Korea Football Association officially announced on the 27th that it had appointed Klinsmann as the successor to Paulo Bento. Coach Klinsman entered Korea through Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 8th and held an official press conference at Paju NFC on the 9th.
Director Klinsman delivered his impressions after entering the country. Director Klinsman said, “First of all, thank you for coming here and welcoming me at such an early hour. I am proud and honored to be here. It is an honor to coach the Korean national team, and I will make sure that Korea continues the achievements achieved at the World Cup in Qatar.” 토토사이트
In the short interview, Director Cha Du-ri’s name appeared. Director Cha Doo-ri worked with coach Klinsman as a member of the Technology Research Group (TSG) at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
There was a report from Germany’s ‘Kicker’ that Cha Doo-Ri would have laid a bridge while coach Klinsmann was nominated for the national team coach. Furthermore, in the process of Klinsman’s staff formation, the possibility that Cha Doo-ri would be appointed as a Korean coach was also conveyed.
Coach Klinsman said, “I watched all of Korea’s games while working as a member of the FIFA Technical Research Group (TSG) at the World Cup in Qatar with coach Cha Doo-ri. Starting with coach Guus Hiddink, they have grown into a good team through the days of Juli Stielike and Paulo Bento. Since we defeated Germany and Portugal in the World Cup, we will aim to win the upcoming 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup.”
It is still unclear whether the ‘coach’ mentioned by coach Klinsman is a coach who joins the national team staff or whether he is referring to Cha Du-ri’s ‘leader career’ itself after retirement. This question is expected to be resolved at the official press conference held in Paju on the 9th.
