South Korea's defeat to Jordan in the last four of the Asian Cup has left them without a chance of winning the tournament again, and the tactics of team leader Kieran Swann have been called into question. According to reports in the media in the country, the South Korean Football Association (SAFA) will soon hold a meeting to assess the possibility of a change of manager, and a decision will be made by next week at the latest.
After South Korea's failed bid, the public opinion is that there is a good chance for Kierenschwen to step down, and the South Korean FA will consult the public opinion on whether to continue to give the 59 year old German star a coaching job. It is reported that the biggest consideration for the South Korean FA is the money issue, because Kirenswein has a contract of nearly 2.5 years, if he is fired now, he will need to pay a compensation of 7 billion won (about 41 million Hong Kong dollars), which is equivalent to 3.7% of the financial budget of the South Korean FA this year, and if you add the replacement of the members of the coaching staff, the compensation will be even bigger, so that the South Korean FA does not dare to take action rashly.
