"Klinsmann was a great player and built a great reputation in Italy," the Italian striker told Bild on Tuesday.

"Experience proved that players who played in offense use attacking tactics when they become managers. And that will help me improve a lot."

Jurgen Klinsmann has been named Bayern Munich coach starting from next June to take over from Ottmar Hitzfeld who signed a contract with Switzerland.

Toni has been in a splendid form since joining the Bavarian side last summer scoring 17 goals including nine in the Bundesliga.
