Calls grow for South Korea to sack 'smiling' Klinsmann

South Korea boss Jurgen Klinsmann is facing calls for his sacking in the coming weeks.

The German legend has not been impressive in his stint with the Asian nation as head coach.

Despite having stars such as Tottenham's Heung-Min Son, Bayern Munich's Kim Min-Jae and Paris Saint-Germain's Lee Kang-in, South Korea lost in the semi finals of the Asia Cup.

Per the Korea Times, he has not made a good impression on fans as a result of his tactics.

Many Koreans are also upset at how he was pictured smiling after they lost to Jordan in the semis.

Kweon Seong-dong of the ruling People Power Party stated that Klinsmann should lose his job.
