Former Bayern Munich coach Jurgen Klinsmann has taken a swipe at the club's new chairman Uli Hoeness, who he believes should have been sacked like he was in April.

Klinsmann was relieved of his duties just 10 months after taking over as coach of Germany's most successful club, but he still feels the decision to make him solely responsible for the club's failings was wrong.

Hoeness, who earlier this month became the club's chairman after three decades as their general manager, should also have been held accountable in Klinsmann's eyes.

"When you have a manager on the bench who has a strong influence on the team, who talks to the players and comes with you into your training camps, and then there is a situation where things are not successful, then both should really say goodbye," he told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper.

Klinsmann recently confirmed that he will never return to the Bundesliga as a coach and this week announced that he and his family are to move back to their former home in the United States of America.

However, should he change his mind and take on another coaching job, then he would prefer not to have somebody like Hoeness watching over him.

"After being sacked by Bayern Munich, Felix Magath decided that he never wanted a manager like him again," explained Klinsmann.

"He prefers to do things by himself and he is being successful, which is understandable."
