Klinsmann left to ponder his future

LONDON: Juergen Klinsmann now knows what it's like to be fired as a failure.

The colorful former striker - who played in five different countries, won domestic and European titles and then rejuvenated the German national team as a coach - is without a job after being dismissed on Monday by Bayern Munich.

"Of course, I am very disappointed at the moment," Klinsmann said after what he described as "an eventful time" with the defending German club champion.
