Rep Power: 33   | Klinsmann Steps Down Jurgen Klinsmann has decided not to continue as Germany coach. "I regret his decision, but we have to accept it," said Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder, co-president of the German Football Federation. Assistant coach Joachim Loew is likely to replace Klinsmann. Klinsmann, who lives in California, had been urged to continue as coach after steering Germany to third place in the recent World Cup. All 23 players of the German World Cup squad, 93% of the public, according to opinion polls, and even some of his harshest critics have all said they wanted him to continue. Germany have a friendly against Sweden on 16 August before their 2008 European Championships qualifying campaign starts in September. Klinsmann, whose contract expired on Sunday, has dismissed reports he received a lucrative offer to coach the United States and has said he has no interest in coaching another national team such as England or Italy. After Germany's semi-final defeat against Italy in Dortmund, Klinsmann said he wanted to talk to his wife before deciding whether to lead his country's attempt to qualify for Euro 2008. Germany finished third at the World Cup after beating Portugal 3-1 in Stuttgart on Saturday. BBC.co.uk | |

Rep Power: 33 | That's a shame, Klinsmann has done a good job with the German team over the last few weeks. They sure are going to miss him, but I think the time is right, as I don't think he could take the team any further. I think Joachim Loew would be ideal to take over, as he can provide that bit of continuity that can help the Germans step up another level. I wouldn't be surprised to see them winning the 2008 European Championship. | |

Rep Power: 3 | Klinsman should definitely take over the US squad. They could sure use a coach like him. I'd really like to see the US become competitive cause maybe that would bring major players to the MLS. By right the MLS should be the biggest league in the world...no1 has the money the Americans have. |

Rep Power: 0 | I was thinking (and hoping) that maybe he would take over the US team. He lives in southern California and we don't have a coach and rumors say he is interested so maybe he will land there |
