There could be a problem with the capital club – because coach Jürgen Klinsmann apparently lacks important documents. The 55-year-old has already spoken – and explains the situation.
Vortex at Hertha BSC: Trainer Jürgen Klinsmann lacks a valid trainer license. The German Football League (DFL) confirmed a report by “Bild”: “In the case of Jürgen Klinsmann, proof of a valid license is currently missing,” it says. Accordingly, neither the club nor Klinsmann himself had previously submitted the necessary documents to the DFB. They would have this against the start of the second half of the season FC Bayern have to do next Sunday.
Klinsmann is also quoted as saying that before his trip to Berlin last November, he did not think “that I need my trainer license and proof of further training, because I didn’t know then that I would become a Hertha trainer.” In fact, the 55-year-old was only introduced as a member of the supervisory board of the new era under the new sponsor Lars Windhorst, and surprisingly took over the position of coach from the hapless at the end of the month Ante Covic,
“Specific measures” are now to be discussed
Klinsmann emphasizes: “But I am in the process of teaching all the necessary documents.” A trainer license from DFB must be renewed at regular intervals (every three years). “To renew the license, an application must be submitted on time in the last half year of the period of validity and proof of participation in further training events in the amount of 20 learning units must be submitted,” the DFB officially said. Klinsmann obtained his license during a special course organized by the association in 2000.
Tobias Haupt, head of the DFB Academy, said the “picture” that these rules would also apply to Klinsmann. “This is now being examined. We know that he has undergone further training in recent years, for example in Mexico and Brazil, but where less attention was paid to certificates.” Together with the German Football League and Klinsmann, “concrete measures” are now to be discussed “that Jürgen can use to close the gaps, for example by participating in the international elite trainer congress in Mainz in February,” said Haupt. If the worst comes to the worst, Klinsmann would have to be an assistant coach at the start of the second half of the season Alexander Nouri be represented.
