Klinsmann scolded by Beckenbauer for absence

DUESSELDORF, Germany, March 6 (Reuters) - Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann was scolded by Franz Beckenbauer on Monday for skipping a meeting of top officials from all 32 World Cup finalists and returning home to California.

Germany's organising committee president said he was angry and disappointed that Klinsmann was not in Duesseldorf for the two-day meetings to discuss technical issues.

"It's incredible that he's not here," Beckenbauer said. "As host country you have to be here. Nearly all the coaches are here. Carlos Alberto Parreira came from Brazil, Sven-Goran Eriksson came from England, but our head coach is not here.

"He should have been here. This is an obligatory meeting and he does not have all that many meetings that are obligatory.

"I don't want to say anything more about it because the more I think about it, the more drastic my choice of words will become."

Klinsmann, who has been commuting between his native Germany and his home in southern California since taking the job in August 2004, has faced sharp criticism following his side's dreadful performance in a 4-1 loss in Italy last week.

It led to a new flare-up of media and public rage at Klinsmann's decision to stay based in the United States ahead of the tournament. Many Bundesliga coaches and German officials argue Klinsmann should be in Germany to watch matches each week.

However, Klinsmann rejected the criticism.

"I was in Germany for three of the last five weeks after the Bundesliga started up after the winter break," he told Bild newspaper. "I've got my plan with everything necessary for the World Cup preparations.

"I've seen matches almost every weekend this winter, but I'm not someone who puts himself in the forefront," Klinsmann said.
