BERLIN - Though the official confirmation is still pending, reports speak of a done deal: Miroslav Klose, one of Germany's most unusual football idols, is going to join the coaching staff of Bayern Munich shortly.

Miroslav Klose is said to have taken a significant step and sign a contract as an assistant coach supporting Bayern Munich head coach Hansi Flick

The 41-year-old is said to have taken a significant step and sign a contract as an assistant coach supporting the Bavarians head coach Hansi Flick.

Most headlines in football might still deal with rumors around possible new faces for Bayern's on-pitch squad, such as Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz, Manchester City star Leroy Sane and Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

But to have convinced Klose to continue his work for the 2013 treble winner is a feat indeed.

The former German international is a perfect match addressing the club's intentions to combine youth education and ambitious plans to gain success on a top-level.

It is not only the issue of Klose causing respect and admiration, but his unique characteristics in the overheated football business.

Born in Poland, Klose developed to a world-class performer, always cruising in the shadow of the shimmering stars.

His close relationship to Flick might increase his value for Bayern as both know each other well after their joint period at the national team. Flick was the team's assistant and Klose in the autumn of his career when Germany won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

To install Klose as an assistant coach has been a profound desire of Flick due. The new staff member enjoys the full trust of his supervisor and perfectly fits his working patterns.

Eying a career in coaching, he insisted on starting right at the bottom taking over the under 17 juniors. His attitude seems as simple as convincing. "I started in youth teams as a footballer. It seems the right approach to do the same as a coach," he commented.

In June, Klose intends to finish his last coaching licence course.

Klose was aware he had all options to speed up things. "It might sound strange, but it would have taken a finger snap to start at the top. But that's ridiculous. You don't get a good coach only because you had a professional career," he emphasized.

Far from a loudspeaker, the former attacker found his individual path. He was 22 when he turned up on the big stage of the Bundesliga. Until 20, he had played in fifth and tired tier teams and still managed to grow to the German national team's top scorer.

137 times capped, he scored 71 goals. He became the most successful scorer in World Cup history, scoring 16 goals. Next to Brazilian icon Pele, Germany's famous striker Uwe Seeler and Portugal's superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, he is one of four having scored at least one goal at four consecutive World Cups.

Klose is the only player reaching at least the semifinal at four World Cups in series.

Despite football temptations, Klose stuck to his humble temper. Good behaviour, respect, gratefulness, determination, and a healthy common sense accompanied him since his early years.

His parents demanded from him to finish a regular education before trying to make his way in professional football. As a carpenter, the son of a footballer playing father and handball playing mother attended training sessions at his amateur clubs in the evening.

Achieving his breakthrough at the 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich, and Lazio Rome, Klose was still like the unknown rookie of the past. In Italy, he once missed a training session of the pro-team due to a trip with the national team.

Despite his status, Klose not only joined Lazio's youth team session to catch up but collected balls after training and helped to get all training gear back to the academy. "Nothing to talk about," he replied to Italian media praising his extraordinary efforts.
