Klose left waiting: Why talks over an extension have stalled | OneFootball

It is still completely open whether Miroslav Klose will remain the coach of 1. FC Nürnberg beyond the current season. His contract expires in the summer—and so far, there do not appear to be any concrete talks about an extension. Speaking to Bild, Klose said: "I haven’t heard anything at all. I’m totally out of the loop. For me, the work here is what matters. I’m totally relaxed about it. For now, what matters to me is to make the next four games as successful as possible.”

The future of the former world-class striker has been occupying the club for some time. However, after a weak start to the season, potential plans had stalled. Nevertheless, the desire to continue with Klose is clearly present within the club. Sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou emphasized: “Basically, it is still the plan to build something long-term with Miro at FCN. Recently, however, we have had other issues that required our attention.”

This means the Klose situation remains unresolved for now—the coming weeks could be decisive in determining whether 1. FC Nürnberg and their coach will continue on their shared path.
