Tottenham hero Jurgen Klinsmann has returned to the dugout for the first time since he was fired by the United States in 2016.

Klinsmann has been named the new coach of Hertha Berlin after Ante Covic was fired with the team 15th in the Bundesliga.

Hertha says Klinsmann is taking over until the end of the season, with no mention of any long-term strategy.

Hertha has lost their last four games, including a 1-0 defeat by Union Berlin in the derby and a 4-0 loss to fellow strugglers Augsburg on Sunday.
