Former star player Juergen Klinsmann met with top German soccer officials, who are seeking a new national team coach.

Klinsmann, a star for Germany at the 1990, 1994 and 1998 World Cups, met in New York on Tuesday with German Soccer Federation president Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder and general secretary Horst R. Schmidt.

"Naturally I will help the DFB, regardless of function," Klinsmann said in a statement, referring to th4e German federation by its acronym. "In New York, we had a constructive and open talk analyzing the national team. I declared there my willingness to shape and work toward building new structures. We agreed to continue those talks."

Rudi Voeller quit after Germany was eliminated in the first round of last month's European Championship. Former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld and Greece coach Otto Rehhagel turned down the job.

Klinsmann became a technical adviser to Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy in February.
