Classic Clip: Klinsmann leaves his Mark on Bayern Munich

By: Jan | January 11th, 2008

In the light of today’s events, here’s Jürgen Klinsmann’s infamous exit from Bayern Munich in 1997. From an article about Klinsmann in the Observer back in March of 2004, shortly before he would take over the Germany job:

Things came to a head three games from the end of the season when the Bayern coach, Giovanni Trapattoni, substituted the superstar with an amateur teenager who never played for the club again. Klinsmann was so incensed that he got physical with an advertising hoarding. The clip of the normally pacific striker repeatedly kicking the board has become a classic on German TV, and he is probably better known in his homeland for that than he is for any of his spectacular goals.

He was Bayern’s captain as well and told Trapattoni to vai a cagare, just to prove that he indeed speaks Italian.
