Klinsmann retired from football after Germany's exit from the 1998 World Cup. Ever the open-minded and adventurous individual, he moved to Los Angeles in the USA with his Californian wife where, despitespeculation that he was going to play for the local Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy, he chose to enrol as a student at a local education college to develop computer skills and learn Spanish!
Klinsmann is enjoying his new-life and newly found anonymity. Occasionally he can be found joining in with the training sessions of local club LA Galaxy, much to the delight of their players and coaches. Club coach Robin Fraser commented that he was astonished by Klinsmann's class and humility. "He's one of the most respected soccer players in the world, but he played for our second team with the enthusiasm of an 18-year-old," Fraser says. "He went out of his way to help the players with whatever little advice he could provide, but he didn't talk down to anyone as if he's the great German player and we're the ignorant Americans. In my opinion he could be a wonderful resource for the development of American soccer."
But typical of the man, it appears that Klinsmann's curiosity will take him beyond soccer. When asked what he'll be doing in 10 years, he says he has no idea. "I'm actually glad that I don't know that," he says. "It would be kind of boring. I want to look ahead always, and never have more than a three- or four-year project. Now with the development of telecommunications, there are new jobs coming up every day, and I want to be open-minded for them."
