Klose has thrombosis in his legs: “Diagnosis was a shock” – compulsory break

Miroslav Klose could have chosen his next employer this summer. The young trainer is in demand on the market and has already been to Fortuna Düsseldorf and the DFB team in conversation. Now he explains to the “kicker”why it didn’t work out.

“Actually everything went very well, and I was basically very far in various conversations. But then suddenly something else came up and I now have to take an involuntary break,” Klose tells the “kicker”.

Klose was diagnosed with thrombosis in the legs. “It started almost three weeks ago that I suddenly got severe pain in my leg, which I couldn’t assign at all. I’ll be right before we start with the FC Bayern went to the hotel quarantine, went to our doctors to have me examined more closely, because the pain in my leg was getting worse. “

Thrombosis causes Klose to take a break from the coach

Klose initially thought it was a “pinched nerve or something,” he says. “The diagnosis was a bit of a shock for me.” The 42-year-old is now painless thanks to the drug treatment. But he still has to wear “those stupid stockings”. “The doctors made it very clear to me that this situation shouldn’t be trifled with,” he says.

Because he was ordered to be absolutely quiet, he was not allowed to play football with FC Bayern in the training camp. The horror for the passionate footballer: “I almost went crazy in the training camp. Not being able to kick a game or demonstrate the exercises to the players … just not being able to do anything actively: It was cruel!”

Klose gives DFB and Flick a rejection

He could only stand on the sidelines and watch out. “I don’t want to and can’t work that way as a coach,” he admits openly. “In the days that followed, it became clear to me that I never wanted to start my coaching career in professional football like this. Either properly or not at all. Or a little later. It was clear to me that now it’s about my health. Health must now have priority. “

Therefore, Klose has now canceled all interested parties. He doesn’t want to start as head coach until he’s really healthy again. “I’m dying to implement my ideas with a team. Continuing to be an assistant coach feels like the wrong path,” he says, rejecting Hansi Flick – Klose will not be his assistant in the German national team.

The 2014 world champion wants to make the forced break useful: “I use the time now to sort out everything I have learned for my game philosophy and my organizational structures. Then I attack fully. I can already feel the anticipation for one Activity as head coach. “
