"VAN" (Sports Desk - 09.07.2026) :: There are few football stars more associated with the FIFA World Cup™ than Jurgen Klinsmann.
The legendary striker took part in three tournaments as a player, helping West Germany win the title at Italy 1990 and scoring an incredible 11 goals. He also participated in two further finals as a coach, firstly leading Germany to the semi-finals on home soil in 2006 before guiding USA to the Round of 16 at Brazil 2014.
Klinsmann is currently involved in a second successive World Cup as a member of FIFA's Technical Study Group (TSG), whose aim is to provide cutting-edge analysis of all matches at the competition while increasing and developing the understanding of the game across the world.
Other members of the group, which is led by Arsene Wenger and Pascal Zuberbuhler, include Otto Addo, Tobin Heath, Jayne Ludlow, Michael O’Neill, Gilberto Silva, Jon Dahl Tomasson, Paulo Wanchope, Aron Winter and Pablo Zabaleta.
In his role on the TSG, Klinsmann provided FIFA with a fascinating insight into his observations on the maiden 48-team global showpiece.
