*Klinsmann bags Bayern job*
Jurgen Klinsmann will take over as coach of Bayern Munich next
season, the club have announced.
Bayern have turned to Klinsmann after Ottmar Hitzfeld revealed he
would be stepping down as the club's manager at the end of the
season.
Klinsmann spent two successful years at Bayern during his
illustrious playing career, helping them win the Uefa Cup and
Bundesliga.
The former Tottenham striker has been out of work since quitting as
Germany coach at the end of the 2006 World Cup.
"Former Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann will take over on 1st July,
2008," said a statement on the club's official website.
The news ends speculation linking Klinsmann with a possible move to
Liverpool as a replacement for Rafa Benitez.
