After three years on the margins of the game, Jurgen Klinsmann steps back into the arena — this time as steward of South Korea's national football ambitions through the 2026 World Cup. The appointment is a second act for a man whose managerial career has been as uneven as it has been ambitious, arriving now in a country that has learned, under careful guidance, to believe in its own footballing potential. In accepting the role, Klinsmann inherits not just a squad but a tradition of expectation, and the quiet burden of living up to those who shaped it before him.
