And it's not Klinsmann.... which is a shame, since he was brilliant. But they have a new one, in time for euro 2008 training and qualfier matches (early i know.).
Juergen Klinsmann, who led Germany to a surprise third-place finish in the World Cup and won over the hearts of the nation, confirmed he is stepping down and assistant Joachim Low would take his place.
'I want to thank everyone, especially the fans, who pushed us along to this fantastic success,' the 41-year-old Klinsmann told a news conference in Frankfurt as he fought back tears.
'It was the most beautiful World Cup ever. We've created a new image of the Germans around the world.'
Klinsmann came under fierce criticism prior to the World Cup, notably for his decisions to commute from his adopted home in California and bring in an American fitness trainer whose modern methods were ridiculed by German soccer traditionalists.
But he silenced the doubters by steering Germany to the semi-finals.

Since he has stated that he is taking a break to be with his family (very noble of him). Do you think he will return in 2 years? for the world cup?? 2010?
