Wilkommen, Jurgen


After five years of courtship behind manager Bob Bradley's back, the US Men's National Team finally sealed the deal with Jurgen Klinsmann. Klinsmann, a former striker, was one of the best players of the 1980s and 90s and helped West Germany win the 1990 World Cup and a unified Germany, the 1996 Euro Cup. He scored 11 World Cup goals (6th most all time) and was the first player to score at least three goals in three different tournaments. On the club level, he excelled for Chelsea, VfB Stuttgart, Inter, Bayern Munich, Monaco and Tottenham before settling in Southern California. In 2006, he coached Germany to a 3rd place Cup finish.
