Chicago - AFP

Former German international Jurgen Klinsmann was on Friday named as the new coach of the United States national team to succeed the sacked Bob Bradley with qualification for the 2014 World Cup his prime mission. \"I am proud and honoured to be named the head coach of the US Men\'s National Football Team,\" Klinsmann, who turns 47 on Saturday, told US Soccer. \"I would like to thank the US Soccer Federation for the opportunity, and I\'m excited about the challenge ahead. \"I am looking forward to bringing the team together for our upcoming match against Mexico (on August 10 in Philadelphia) and starting on the road towards qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.\" US Soccer president Sunil Gulati expressed his delight at the appointment, saying: \"We are excited to have Jurgen as the head coach of our men’s national team. \"He is a highly accomplished player and coach with the experience and knowledge to advance the program. Jurgen has had success in many different areas of the game and we look forward to the leadership he will provide on and off the field.\" As a player, Klinsmann won the 1990 World Cup and 1996 European Championship, and was also a prolific goalscorer at club level for Stuttgarter Kickers, VfB Stuttgart, Inter Milan, Monaco, Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich, and Sampdoria. He already has experience of coaching at international level, having led his native Germany to third place at the 2006 World Cup on home soil. However, he was sacked from his last coaching position at Bayern Munich five games before the end of the 2008/09 season, and has not worked in a dugout since, choosing instead to devote time to his role as a partner with a sports marketing consultancy. Klinsmann is very familiar with the US, though, having moved to California with his American wife after retiring from playing in 1998. He was linked with the US coaching job in 2006, only for US Soccer to opt for Bradley instead, and was also reportedly close to taking charge at the LA Galaxy in 2007, before the MLS club appointed Ruud Gullit. Klinsmann will be formally unveiled at a press conference in New York on Monday, and will be charged with the task of leading the USA to a seventh consecutive World Cup finals. After taking on Mexico, the team will also have friendly matches against Costa Rica and Belgium to look forward to before the 2014 qualifying campaign begins in earnest. Bradley was sacked when US Soccer decided it was \"time for us to make a change\" following the 4-2 defeat to Mexico in the Gold Cup final.
