Jurgen keeps Germany waiting

Jurgen Klinsmann says structural changes have to be in place before he accepts the job of coaching the Germany team.

As Standard Sport reported yesterday, the former national captain is expected to take over from Rudi Voeller, who resigned after Euro 2004.

But ex-Spurs striker Klinsmann said it was too early to call him the next coach, adding: "The discussions are still taking place. I have said I am ready to be on board but it all has to fit."

Klinsmann, who may bring in Oliver Bierhoff as his assistant, added: "There has to be a structural change. There has to be a manager for the team, like there is in a club. We have to reconsider the whole environment."
