Miroslav Klose extends contract as Nuremberg coach
Former Bayern Munich and Germany striker Miroslav Klose is set to stay on the sidelines at Bundesliga 2 side Nuremberg after signing a new contract.
Klose took charge of Nuremberg in summer 2024 and guided the club to a 10th-placed finish in his first season in charge. They are currently in the same position after 21 matches of the current campaign, ahead of a home meeting with Karlsruhe on Matchday 22.
Nuremberg's board member for sport Joti Chatzialexiou said: "From day one, Miro has identified strongly with the club, the region, and the people here. He enjoys great respect from the players, the club management, and the fans. Together, we will do everything we can to move the club forward."

I am grateful for the trust placed in me by the club management and the fans, and I look forward to continuing our work together here."
Klose is Germany's all-time record goalscorer with 71 international goals, winning the 2014 World Cup as well as two Bundesliga titles during his time playing at Bayern.
