1. FC Nürnberg has officially announced the extension of head coach Miroslav Klose's contract, although details regarding the duration of the extension have not been disclosed. Klose, who has been with the club since June 2024, faced uncertainty regarding his future after a poor start to the season. His leadership has since helped stabilize the team and improve their position in the league, currently sitting at tenth place.

Klose, a former prolific scorer for the German national team, began his coaching career in 2016 as part of the coaching staff for the German national A-team. He then took on youth coaching responsibilities with FC Bayern's U17 team and later managed the Austrian club SCR Altach. The decision to continue with Klose reflects the club's confidence in his ability to develop and guide the team through the challenges of the 2. Bundesliga.

Sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou emphasized the mutual agreement between him and Klose to continue their journey together, indicating a commitment to a long-term vision for the club's future. With the team having stabilized after an uncertain start, Klose's extension is likely seen as a positive step towards achieving better results in the remainder of the season and possibly improving upon their current league standing, fostering an environment of stability and growth within the team.
