Zwanziger shared that he was doubts about Klinsmann and have already decided in mind that if anything would went wrong then they will replace Klinsmann with Matthias Sammer with immediate effects. "If there would have been looming a disaster in 2006 and we couldn't have hold on Klinsmann, we decided that Sammer should replace him on short notice", said he.

He asserted that the conditions did not arise, where they would have had to change the coach. Germnay was able to enter into semi-finals in the 2006 World Cup and later Joachim Low, who is currently handling the team, was appointed as the coach.

He said that though he had accepted Klinsmann in public, he was having doubts in his mind and that made him to have plan B.
