World Cup-winning striker Miroslav Klose was named coach of second-division German club Nuremberg on Tuesday (11 June). Klose, who scored 71 goals in 137 games for Germany and won the 2014 World Cup.

"The values that the club stand for match my expectations. I usually go with my gut and immediately I had a good feeling about it," Klose said on Tuesday.

Sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou, who started with Nuremberg in May, called Klose" an incredibly meticulous and detail-obsessed coach who has not only had a successful playing career but has a clear idea as a coach."
