Former coach of the Korean national soccer team Jurgen Klinsmann, who was sacked after just one year in office, is being mentioned as a candidate for the next coach of the prestigious German club Bayern Munich.
On the 16th, British soccer media outlet ’90min’ mentioned seven people as candidates for the successor to Munich coach Thomas Tuchel, who is expected to be sacked due to poor performance and other reasons.
In addition to former coach Klinsmann, former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, former German national team coach Hansi Flick, former PSV Eindhoven coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, former Chelsea coach Graham Potter, former AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho, and former Tottenham coach Antonio Conte were selected. .
Former coach Klinsmann had already served as the coach of Bayern Munich from 2008 to 2009. At the time, they finished in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League and second in the regular season. If former coach Klinsmann takes over as coach of Munich, it will be his return after 15 years.
However, it seems that ’90min’ simply selected leaders who do not currently have a team as a candidate group.

Klinsmann, whose annual salary is known to be 2 million euros (approximately 2.9 billion won), has a contract until the 2026 North and Central America World Cup finals, so the Football Association must pay more than 7 billion won in remaining annual salary. There are also predictions that if the salaries of foreign coaches of the national team are included, the penalty will be more than 10 billion won.
Former coach Klinsmann served as coach of the U.S. national team in 2016, but was fired during the contract period and pocketed the remaining salary.
