Now an old companion Klinsmanns has spoken, with whom he already played at Bayern and in the national team: Lothar Matthäus.

Matthäus on Klinsmann's resignation: "Jürgen is a power man who plays everything or nothing."

It is no secret that the two exceptional players of their time did not have much in common then or today. Now Matthäus handed out again against Klinsmann to the picture . “Jürgen is of course someone who is a power person who then plays everything or nothing. I assume that was crucial, ”said the record national player.

“I am used to a lot from Jürgen - in a positive as well as in a different sense. But of course that blew me away. Jürgen is consistent, he has always been. And he has now shown that again, ”said Matthäus on the day of his resignation about his then competitor.

Klinsmann declares resignation: in the German system "I don't find myself again"

Klinsi cites "different ways of thinking and above all different cultures and approaches" as the exact reason for the resignation in the association. "Of course, it is also about the distribution of competencies. In my understanding, a trainer - according to the English model - should bear all athletic responsibility. So also about transfers.
