How Germany's greatest goalscorer is guiding the next generation

Klose has a knack for working with young talent, previously coaching Bayern Munich's under-17s. His Nuremberg side are the youngest in the German second tier with an average age of 23.3 years, according to Transfermarkt.

"You need that balance and a certain core of experienced players," he explains. "But we're very brave in that respect. Over the three years I've been here, we've made progress in how we assess young players and in the conversations we have about them.

"How do we rate them? How far along are they? What do they need to work on to take the next step? Is it perhaps more about their physical development? Because from a footballing perspective, we're already producing some really good players."
