Klinsmann is new US boss

Former Germany boss Jurgen Klinsmann has been named the new head coach of the United States.

The announcement comes a day after Bob Bradley was sacked following five years in charge.

Klinsmann, who led hosts Germany to the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup, has lived primarily in the United States since retiring from playing. "I am proud and honoured to be named the head coach of the US Men's National Team," said Klinsmann, who will take charge of his first match on August 10 against rivals Mexico.
