SEOUL (Reuters) - Uli Stielike will be given more time to get South Korea's stuttering 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign back on track after the Korea Football Association (KFA) said on Monday it was sticking by the under-fire German coach.

Stielike guided the South Koreans to the 2015 Asian Cup final just five months after taking charge but a string of poor performances in the final round of Asian qualifying have left their 2018 hopes in doubt.
