New NT Coach unveiled...

[Will317]

Jurgen Klinnsman, former striker of Tottenham and Germany, has been named the new coach of the German national side.
I have a feeling that this job is suited to him and that he'll do well. In any case, good luck! :thumbsup:


Jurgen Klinsmann has been appointed Germany's new coach. The 39-year-old has signed a two-year contract and replaces Rudi Voller, who resigned after Germany's poor showing in Euro 2004.
Klinsmann, who won the World Cup as a player with Germany in 1990, will be assisted by veteran coach Holger Osiek and former striker Oliver Bierhoff. He will lead Germany in the 2006 World Cup - in which they have automatically qualified as the host nation.
Klinsmann has been involved in sports marketing in the US and also acted as advisor to American Major League side Los Angeles Galaxy since ending his playing career after the 1998 World Cup.
He said: "My role should be as team boss. This post is an honour for me."

Will,
I started a link in the World Cup forum a while back and yeah i think he'll do well, but his supporting cast in this job has to do a job as good as him.

Can Germany Do It ????? Only time will tell.

True. I think they will improve on their performances of late, they can surely do not much worse in major tournaments than they did in Euro 2004.
Despite the fact Klinsmann has no manegerial experience, it's a fresh start and probably fresh motiviation for the players. They have decent young players, and the older ones aren't bad either, and their next major tournament will be in front of a home crowd all the way through. Things can only get better for them.
