Former coach Jurgen Klinsmann (62, Germany), who is remembered as the worst coach in Korean soccer history, continues to make absurd remarks. This time, he said he wanted to take the helm of his former team Tottenham Hotspur, which is on the verge of relegation.

Sports media "Sports Illustrated" reported on the 14th (Korea Standard Time) that "Clinsman, who previously played for the U.S. national team, is hoping to return to Tottenham after the possibility of the replacement of interim coach Igor Tudor was raised."

Tottenham's current situation is a catastrophe itself. Tottenham, which has not won a single English Premier League (EPL) since 2026, is currently only one point away from the relegation zone, falling to 16th place in the league. Recently, he suffered a humiliating 2-5 defeat in the first round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16.

In this situation, Klinsmann expressed his intention to take over as Tottenham manager in an interview with ESPN, saying, "Who wouldn't refuse to take over as Tottenham manager?"

Klinsmann then said, "Tottenham needs someone who knows the club well now. It takes a really messy, ugly fighting spirit to get out of the mess. This is only possible through emotion," he claimed.

Regarding Klinsmann's remarks, Sports Illustrated pointed out that "Clinsmann may be nostalgic to Tottenham fans, but considering his tactical incompetence and worst career, his chances of taking office are close to comedy produced by desperate situations."

In fact, Klinsmann failed in both leadership and tactics when he was the coach of the Korean national team. He has continued to be insincere in insisting on working remotely at his home in the United States in violation of his promise to live in Korea, and has been acting cowardly by selling his disciples to avoid his responsibility even after he was dismissed.

In particular, Klinsmann appeared on Austria's "SERVUS TV" even after the dismissal, constantly mentioning the conflict between Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in, touching the painful wound. At the time, Klinsmann blamed the young player for the failure to manage the team, saying, "Lee Kang-in said something rude to Son Heung-min, and Son Heung-min's finger dislocated in the process." He even criticized Korean culture and said, "It is always said that even if an older person is wrong, it is always right. In Korea, if something happens, someone should take responsibility, but that became a coach," he said, making an absurd excuse.

Although Son Heung-min has already closed the case by holding Lee Kang-in himself, Klinsmann is destroying the original team he emphasized by revealing the incident at the time whenever he opens his mouth.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's leadership is considering former Nottingham Forest coach Sean Dyche as a strong candidate to replace Tudor, apart from Klinsmann's absurd remarks. Britain's "The Sun" said, "If Tudor is replaced, Daichi, who has extensive experience in EPL, will be the top priority." For now, Tottenham plans to decide the fate of Tudor based on the result of the away match in Liverpool on the 16th.
