According to reports on Tuesday, Klinsmann is on the Chinese Football Association's list of candidates for national team coach, a position that has been vacant since the Chinese Football Association went out of the Asian Cup last month and sacked Jankovic (note: the Chinese Football Association has not officially announced the dismissal of Jankovic).
Klinsmann was sacked after a year as coach of the South Korean national team, during which time he was criticized for his lack of tactics and failure to win the Asian Cup. South Korea lost to Jordan in the semi-finals on February 6, after a 13-game unbeaten streak.
South Korea also beat China 3-0 in the World Qualifiers last November, when Jankovic was the head coach of the Chinese national team.
Tuesday's report also noted that the Chinese Football Association could afford Klinsmann's annual salary. It is reported that his salary as the coach of the South Korean national team is about 2.9 billion won (about 15.45 million yuan).
It remains to be seen whether Jurgen Klinsmann will take charge of the Chinese team, with reports that former Qatar coach Queiroz and former Oman coach Ivankovic are also on the radar of the Chinese Football Association.
