Former United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann has been appointed to the supervisory board at Hertha Berlin, the club announced on Friday.
Klinsmann, 55, had been out of an official role in football ever since the United States Soccer Federation sacked the former Germany international striker in November 2016.
Linked with the Ecuador job last month, the former Germany head coach returns to Bundesliga football at capital club Hertha Berlin.
"I am delighted to be part of the most exciting football project in Europe," Klinsmann said in quotes on the club's official website.
