The former German National Team and Bayern Munich coach is not currently tied to any national team or club. Once heavily courted by the US, Klinsmann remains a figure of high interest across the globe.
With the World Cup less than a year away, the rumors about his future plans are beginning again…
Bayern Munich and Jurgen Klinsmann have parted ways following Saturday’s 1 - 0 loss to Shalke at home. With rumors surrounding the move since Munich’s 5 - 1 aggregate loss to Barcelona in the Champions League and less than optimal results recently in the Bundesliga, the men in charge have brought in Jupp Heynckes to manage the last five matches of the season.
Bild is reporting that Bayern Munich has agreed to part ways at the end of the year with Coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
…It makes you wonder who will be the next team (or next country, ahem) to call up Coach Klinsmann…?
Glad to hear someone is still throwing holiday parties, and this circus-themed event for Bayern looks like it was quite fun. No sign of our man LD, but Luca Toni agreed to have axes thrown at him and Schweiny went as his wonderful WAG, Sarah Brandner. Good times.

Jurgen Klinsmann, along with his Californian assistants Martin Vazquez and Nick Theslof have a lot of work in front of them this season.
Still waiting to see who Klinsmann’s new choice for Captain will be after Oliver Kahn retired.
First it was former US International Martin Vasquez and now it’s former Columbus Crew’er Nick Theslof joining Jurgen Klinsmann’s staff at Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich.
Set to take over in July, Klinsmann’s relationship with the former UCLA standout started when Theslof took over California Blue Star which at the time was a PDL team in Southern California. Klinsmann, playing under the moniker Jay Goppingen for the city he was born in, was playing for fun after retiring from his illustrious career alongside future pro players like Calen Carr, Kamani Hill, Kei Kamara, Sal Zizzo, Robbie Rogers and Sacha Kljestan, while Theslof was the head coach.
Theslof’s official title will be International Scout and will be working closely with Munich’s Wolfgang Dremmier, but this isn’t the first time Theslof has worked with Klinsmann. He was also involved with the German National Team when Klinsmann was in charge, taking in important International Matches and reporting directly to Klinsmann with scouting reports.
