The meeting on February 15 was chaired by the head of the Korean National Team Committee - Michael Muller and attended by eight senior officials of the KFA. However, the Korean National Team Committee only has the right to propose and the KFA is the agency that has the right to decide on the future of coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Once that proposal is made, the pressure will be on the shoulders of KFA President - Chung Mong-gyu. However, surprisingly, Chung Mong-gyu was absent from the meeting once again.
The KFA initially announced that the meeting would start at 11am and end at 2pm (Korean time). However, the ongoing controversy made things tense and the KFA had to postpone the press conference with the media to 4pm.
The meeting was tense and attended by senior leaders of Korean football.
On February 10, coach Jurgen Klinsmann left Korea, so he participated online. The German strategist still smiled and greeted each member of the Korean National Team Committee. Before the meeting started, hundreds of Korean fans gathered in front of the KFA headquarters to demand the 59-year-old coach's resignation. They even made banners and hung them on cars to drive around the corners of Seoul. However, coach Jurgen Klinsmann affirmed that he still would not resign.

Mr. Hwangbo Kwan - Technical Director of KFA announced the results of the meeting about the future of coach Jurgen Klinsmann: "For various reasons, the Korean National Team Committee assessed that coach Jurgen Klinsmann could no longer demonstrate his leadership ability as the national team coach. The consensus is that a replacement is needed. I will report this to the KFA and they will be the ones to decide everything."

At the same time, Mr. Hwangbo Kwan also explained the reason why coach Jurgen Klinsmann will be fired: "Coach Jurgen Klinsmann lacks tactical preparation. At the Asian Cup, he could not find new faces. The team's leadership could not control the team atmosphere or internal conflicts. As a leader, coach Jurgen Klinsmann also had shortcomings in setting discipline and standards for the team.
In addition, coach Jurgen Klinsmann is ignoring the Korean people because of his unacceptable work attitude. The Korean National Team Committee assessed that it would be difficult to restore trust when he continues to break his promises. In football, especially at the national team level, it is the attitude that matters.”

In addition to the future of coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Mr. Hwangbo Kwan refused to answer questions related to the Korean team's brawl in Qatar. The KFA will certainly impose disciplinary action on Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in, but Mr. Hwangbo Kwan did not reveal what they were.
It is expected that the meeting results report will be sent to Chairman Chung Mong-gyu on February 15 and the KFA will soon make a decision to fire coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
