Miroslav Josef Klose is a German professional football manager and former player who is head coach of 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg. He is the all-time top scorer for Germany and was the record-holder for most goals scored in the FIFA World Cup (16), a record he held for twelve years that was broken by Lionel Messi. Starting his career at FC 08 Homburg, Klose played in the Bundesliga for Kaiserslautern before becoming one of the most prolific scorers in the league with Werder Bremen, where he was awarded the German Footballer of the Year in 2006 and also named in the kicker Bundesliga Team of the Season in 2004–05 and 2005–06. His performances saw him move to Bayern Munich in 2007. During his time at Bayern, Klose won the 2007–08 and 2009–10 league titles. In 2011, Klose moved to Serie A club Lazio, where he won the 2012–13 Coppa Italia and eventually finished his playing career in 2016 after five years at the club. — Wikipedia
