As South Korea's national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann was dismissed for the shortest time in a year after his appointment, attention is focusing on the amount of penalty that the Korea Football Association has to pay. The fact that Klinsmann was dismissed from the U.S. national team coach eight years ago is also being re-examined.

According to the soccer community on the 17th, Klinsmann's contract period is until the finals of the North-Central American World Cup scheduled for June-July 2026, and the contract reportedly includes a clause that requires him to pay the remaining annual salary in case of dismissal. Considering the salary originally known as 2 million euros (about 2.9 billion won), the Korea Football Association has to pay more than 7 billion won to former coach Klinsmann. Some predict that the penalty will be more than 10 billion won if the annual salary of foreign coaches of the national team is added.

This is not the first time that Klinsmann has collected the remaining salary as he was dismissed during the contract period. Klinsmann led the final qualifying round for the 2018 World Cup in Russia as the coach of the U.S. national team in 2016, but was fired after failing to fulfill his term in November. At the time, the Washington Post estimated that the total compensation cost (including non-cash compensation) for Klinsmann and his staff would be 6.2 million dollars. Since then, Klinsmann has been recorded as the highest paid coach in the U.S. soccer community.

Domestic soccer fans are criticizing it, saying, "It's an example of other coaches who faithfully fulfilled their contracts."

Some point out that the government should be held responsible for failing to fulfill the contract properly, referring to the clause on "living in Korea during his term in office." Klinsmann has been in Korea for only 67 days for six months since his inauguration, sparking controversy over whether to stay home or abroad. Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, announced the replacement of Klinsmann on the previous day, saying, "I need to consult with my lawyer about the payment of the remaining salary. If there is a problem, I will consider what I will contribute to financially."
