Jurgen has quit as the Germany boss, it is a shame because he has built a good team out of mainly average players.

The German press and the German fans have put him through hell, none of which he deserved, he has won world cups for Germany, and was close to winning it as a manager. They have been trying really hard to get him to stay on, but only have themselves to blame.

I'm very surprised at this news. Like you say, he did an excellent job on limited resources, and moulded a superb team. He proved what you can do if you persevere with something, and it is a shame if he feels that what was said before the World Cup has driven him out of the job. He's one of the more likeable people in the game

I bet they are regreting the way he was treated by the media over there now.

He managed to turn them into a real 'team'. Something Sven never managed in 5 years

I guess Klinsmann put family ahead of his job and you have to respect that.

Seems a little strange as now he will mightly popular in Germany for doing such a great job.

I hop he doesn't become the U.S boss that would be a terrible waste.

i think he was quoted as saying he wouldn't want to coach another national team, maybe he has a club or admin job in the US in the pipeline

he doesnt even coach his sons team in the USA, he hates the limelight on his family. I think this is probably his last flirtation with it.

I remember when Klinsmann was at Spurs, he is so humble, been there, done it, and bought the T shirt. He would turn up in his old beetle, and park it next to all the sports cars, he is priceless.

Yeah, he was being slated when he first arrived at Spurs, but soon won everyone over when he started playing. He was a fantastic player. We all know he liked a dive, but he cut that out of his game and concentrated solely on football. I remember Sir Alan (Ihate that name after the suck-ups on the Apprentice used to use it in the boardroom) saying he wouldn't wash his car with a signed Klinsmann shirt. and then took him back.

A wonderful ambassador for the game (Jurgen, not sugar)

Jurgen did to English football what Henry does now, they both lifted it another level, problem with Klinsmann is he never stayed in one place long enough.

I remember when Spurs played Liverpool in the FA Cup, we knocked Liverpool out 2-1, Klinsmann scored the second, after the whistle the Kop stood up and gave Klinsmann a standing ovation, he said in all the places he had played England was the best, he had never had such treatment from the opposition after beating them, and they surprised him and left him close to tears.

We could do with more foreign players like Klinsmann and Henry, rather than Cristiano Ronaldo and Arjen Robben

Ronaldo and Robben are good players but are just not in the mould of Klinsmann and Henry.
Klinsmann said that the best strike partner he has ever had was Sheringham, because of the way Teddy read the game and made sure the ball was always there for Klinsmann, or Teddy was always there to recieve it, he classed Sheringham the best strike partner in the world, but just imagine Klinsmann and Henry together.
