Jurgen Klinsmann has ruled himself out of the running for the vacant VfB Stuttgart CEO position, citing the club's lack of urgency in the hiring process.
The 55-year-old rose to prominence as a striker with the club between 1984 and 1989, earning a move to Inter prior to the 1989-90 season.
Klinsmann had been in talks with Stuttgart for months over the role but has now confirmed that he will not be taking over as CEO of the 2.Bundesliga side.
