Klinsmann's smile after a "devastating defeat" causes irritation. The 59-year-old congratulated his colleague Hussein Ammouta with a smile after the 2-0 defeat in Al-Rayyan, Qatar.
Klinsmann has a quick smile, but with it he “sometimes offends people,” wrote the national news agency Yonhap. Some fans have already called for the coach's resignation in view of the fluctuating performance in the group games. South Korea only won one of five games in regular time.
