 Former Soccer World Champion Klaus Augenthaler become the latest 1990 World Cup winner to coach in the lower reaches of the country's amateur game. The Bayern Munich stalwart, who won 27 international caps, is to coach seventh-tier Bavarian club SV Donaustauf from next season, the club said Thursday. His former international team-mate Thomas Haessler this month agreed to take charge of Berlin eighth-tier side Club Italia Berlino. Both Augenthaler and Haessler were in the West Germany team that beat Argentina 1-0 in the 1990 World Cup final in Rome. Augenthaler also played at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, while Haessler went on to play at the 1994 World Cup in the United States and the 1998 tournament in France. Augenthaler, 58, was a caretaker coach at Bayern Munich where he played more than 400 games and won seven Bundesliga titles. He was head coach at Austrian side Grazer AK between 1997 and 2000 before leading Nuremberg to Bundesliga promotion during a three-year spell at the club. He then coached Bayer Leverkusen from 2003 and 2005 and Wolfsburg from 2005 to 2007 in the Bundesliga. His last coaching job was with Unterhaching, then in the third division, in 2010-2011. Augenthaler, who is currently acting as an adviser to Donaustauf, said: "I feel very close to the region and the club, and not just because I come from Lower Bavaria. "Along with the sporting duties I see the opportunity here to get several social projects going together with the club and its supporters." | |||||
