Former Germany boss and World Cup winner Jurgen Klinsmann will take over as coach of Bayern Munich next season.
Klinsmann will replace Ottmar Hitzfeld, who is due to step down from the post at the end of the current campaign.
The appointment marks Klinsmann's first foray into club coaching after he guided host nation Germany to third place at the 2006 World Cup.
He had been linked with the vacant Newcastle job and, earlier in the season, with Chelsea and Tottenham.
The 43-year-old was also viewed as a dark horse to succeed Steve McClaren as England national coach before the appointment of Fabio Capello.
He won 108 caps for his country. He scored 47 goals for Germany, 11 of which came in three World Cup campaigns.
Klinsmann featured in the 1990 World Cup-winning team and was then captain for the successful Euro 96 campaign.
He enjoyed a successful stint as a player with Bayern between 1995 and 1997, winning Uefa Cup and Bundesliga honours.
His managerial career is still in its infancy. After a period involved in Major League Soccer in the USA he returned to coach Germany in 2004.
The Bayern job is his first with a high-profile club.

Great appointment by Bayern Munich! It's an obvious choice as Klinsmann is not doing very much at the moment (only enjoying lots of warm sunshine in California)作者: KIU 時間: 2008-1-14 07:13 PM

Transfer coup Germany star Tim Borowski agrees Bayern switch
14.01.2008 After sensationally attracting Jürgen Klinsmann to succeed Ottmar Hitzfeld as head coach at the end of this season, Bayern have now pulled off a coup in the transfer market with the signing of Germany international Tim Borowski from Werder Bremen. The midfielder has agreed a three-year deal with Munich and will join the club on a free transfer from 1 July 2008.
The Bayern board reached agreement with the player and his representatives at the weekend, the clubs have announced. Borowski will be the seventh current German international in the Munich squad alongside Miroslav Klose, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm, Lukas Podolski, Marcell Jansen and Jan Schlaudraff.
Borowski was accepted into the Werder Bremen youth academy from 1. FC Neubrandenburg in 1996, signing professional forms at the Bundesliga club in 2001. He has scored 21 goals in 157 Bundesliga appearances to date, also winning 31 Germany caps and scoring twice for his country.
More news and views on the Borowski transfer follows shortly…
