"German coach Klinsmann steps down"
Klinsmann surprised many by taking Germany to third.
Jurgen Klinsmann has decided not to continue as Germany coach.
"I regret his decision, but we have to accept it," said Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder, co-president of the German Football Federation.
Assistant coach Joachim Loew is likely to replace Klinsmann.
Klinsmann, who lives in California, had been urged to continue as coach after steering Germany to third place in the recent World Cup.
All 23 players of the German World Cup squad, 93% of the public, according to opinion polls, and even some of his harshest critics have all said they wanted him to continue.
Germany have a friendly against Sweden on 16 August before their 2008 European Championships qualifying campaign starts in September.
Klinsmann, whose contract expired on Sunday, has dismissed reports he received a lucrative offer to coach the United States and has said he has no interest in coaching another national team such as England or Italy.
After Germany's semi-final defeat against Italy in Dortmund, Klinsmann said he wanted to talk to his wife before deciding whether to lead his country's attempt to qualify for Euro 2008.
Germany finished third at the World Cup after beating Portugal 3-1 in Stuttgart on Saturday.

今天一上网就看到了这样的消息,很失落。克林希,爱你的人终究还是没能留下你。
从1999年你的退役到2004年临危任命德国队主教练,我们等了5年。
我不知道从2006年7月开始,我们还将等待多少个5年,等你再次在我们的视线内出现。
当然,没有你,我还是会一如既往地爱着德国。
只是,没有你,一切决不会一样。
勒夫可能会做得比你更好,别人可能会做得比你更好,但是他们都不是你!
你知道有多少人是因为你而爱着德国的吗?至少我所见到的德迷全都是。
我尊重你的决定,可是我还是想说,你太狠心。
如果不是因为有你,2006的德国队不会那么让我心神荡漾。
如果不是因为有你,我不会认为这23个小伙子可以走得比季军更远。
我真的以为,我会在08年的欧洲杯和10年的南非再次见到你。
我真的以为!我真的以为!我真的以为!
从这一刻开始,还要等多久?
如果你将不再回来,我真的宁愿你从未出现过
。
