Jϋrgen Klinsmann is in town and he is looking for answers.

One of the most prodigious strikers in European football history and a former coach of the German National team, Klinsmann has been retained by MLSE to help with an overhaul that began with the firing of Mo Johnston and Preki, Sept. 14.

Klinsmann, who operates a consultant company called SoccerSolutions, will operate in a tight timeframe.

He will assist in the recruitment of a new coach and head of player personnel whose exact title is yet to be determined. His company will also inspect some of the procedures on the team’s business and administrative sides.

Toronto FC, just four years old, has never made the playoffs. Last season it lurched to a record of nine wins, eight draws but a staggering 13 losses and set off pitched fan discontent.

“We wanted to do more than just hire somebody,” said Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Chief Operating Officer Tom Anselmi.

“We wanted to make sure we had a good look at the whole infrastructure, the whole operation from top to bottom.”

Klinsmann, 46, will commute between Toronto and his California home.

“For us now working for Toronto FC, the big thing is understanding your culture, understanding your mentality. Your wishes, how the club functions, understanding your facilities,”  Klinsmann said.

“I worked in Europe and played in four different countries. I know those systems. I coached the national team and those sorts of things. I have a pretty good picture of how best practices work.”

One of the fascinating elements to the job, Klinsmann said, is the multicultural flavor of the city.

"It’s a very interesting marketplace for a soccer franchise. There are so many soccer cultures involved in this city, but you have to find your own identity and say, ‘okay this is our style of football. Is it an attacking style of football or counterweight football? The staff has to answer that out sooner or later and find the players to build on.”
