Seoul: Jurgen Klinsmann has targeted victory at the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™ and a deep run at the next FIFA World Cup Finals when he was officially unveiled as the new head coach of Korea Republic on Thursday.

The German, a FIFA World Cup winner as a player in 1990, was confirmed as Paulo Bento’s replacement last week and arrived in Seoul on Wednesday ahead of a pair of friendly matches against Colombia and Uruguay later this month.

Klinsmann has prioritised ending the Koreans’ AFC Asian Cup drought, which extends back more than 63 years to the second of the nation’s two back-to-back continental titles won on home soil in 1960, before surpassing the country’s recent achievements at the FIFA World Cup.
