1. FC Nuremberg has attracted attention with the appointment of Miroslav Klose as coach. The World Cup record goalscorer will succeed Cristian Fiél. The second division football club announced this on Tuesday.
The 2014 world champion was coach at SCR Altach in Austria until a year ago and now wants to make a name for himself as a coach in Germany. “The values that the club stands for immediately impressed me. I’m really happy,” said the 46-year-old on Tuesday. He signed a two-year contract.
“Miro is an extremely meticulous and detail-obsessed coach who has not only experienced and learned a lot during his successful playing career, but has also developed a clear idea as a coach of how to be successful in football and what it takes to do so on the pitch and in the dressing room,” said the new sports director Joti Chatzialexiou. “We have a lot planned.” The signing of Klose should help with the transfers.
Klose coached young football players in Bavaria and Austria
Klose will succeed Cristian Fiél. As a long-time national player, Klose gained coaching experience with the U17 team of FC Bayern Munich and as assistant coach of the professionals, and also worked with the DFB. After his time at Bayern, he went to Austria. “I didn’t have to think long about the club’s offer,” said Klose about the offer.
“The club has a great foundation with its youth work, which we want to build on. I have known and appreciated Joti for many years. We are on the same wavelength as people and in the way we think about football. Now it’s time to get going, get to work and get the season on the right track,” said Klose. Chatzialexiou held a management position at the German Football Association for a long time.
Klose’s task
At Chatzialexiou’s presentation a week ago, he announced that Fiél wanted to leave the club early. He is looking for a new challenge at Hertha BSC.
“Teams like St. Pauli, Leverkusen, Stuttgart, all of which are successful with a similar style of play – that is the direction for the future,” said Chatzialexiou last week. Chatzialexiou envisions “a good axis with two or three leading players.” New talent should grow around these. That is now Klose’s task.
