Replacing him is the international world champion iconic German born Jurgen Klinsmann. Klinsmann was head coach for the German Men's national team in 2006 and was criticized by the Germans for not living in Germany. He lives in Southern California and has made California his home for more than a decade. We are sure glad he is here. He will bring a fresh international player perspective to the game that Bob Bradley did not have. Klinsmann knows the game and knows the profession from a European perspective. More than 75% of the national team plays outside the MLS. Klinsmann evokes knowledge, perspective, passion, and respect in every aspect of the game. His first game as head coach will be against Mexico in a friendly filled with rivalry. Don't miss it.
