Klinsmann & Vasquez: Back together again

My concern with Klinsmann is exactly the one lots of commentators have already cited he's not really a tactician, and it was Jogi Löw who did all that heavy lifting with the German National Team. And Martin Vasquez, who went from being an assistant at MLS's Chivas club to being Klinsmann's assistant at Bayern (and came back for a short tenure as Chivas's head coach), isn't really a tactician either but he seems to impress folks since he got the Youth Development Director position with Real Salt Lake post-Chivas.
