Career

[edit]

Post retirement

[edit]

After retiring at the end of the 2008-09 season, Klein started that same summer as goalkeeping coach for RC Strasbourg's B team.[1] In the summer of 2010, he stepped up as goalkeeping coach of the club's first team squad, replacing Alexander Vencel (footballer, born 1967), under new manager Laurent Fournier.[2][3]

In the summer of 2011 he was hired in the same position for Valenciennes' B team.[4] Ahead of the 2014-15 season, Klein was promoted to the first team squad as goalkeeping coach under manager Faruk Hadžibegić's staff.[5] In May 2017, it was confirmed that Klein's contract was not extended and he left the club.[6]

Not long after leaving Valenciennes, Klein started his own goalkeeping academy.[7] Among other things, Klein, under his own goalkeeping academy 'J4K Valenciennes', was responsible for goalkeeper training at the club La Sentinelle, which played in the Hauts-de-France league in France.[8]

In the 2018-19 season, Klein was the goalkeeping coach for the Mauritania national football team ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.[9]

Ahead of the 2019-20 season, Klein was appointed goalkeeper coach of Auxerre's reserve team.[10]
