FRANKFURT (AP):
Former Germany great Lothar Matthaeus has called off negotiations to become coach of Racing Club in Argentina. Writing on his web page yesterday, the former Germany captain said he had not travelled to Argentina and that talks with Racing Club have been called off "due to various reasons".
He gave no other details.
The Bild newspaper said Matthaeus had sent a text message overnight declining the offer. The newspaper quoted Juan Cobian, whom it describes as an "adviser" involved in negotiations between Matthaeus and the Argentine club. "It was ridiculous," Bild quoted Cobian as saying. "We were all disappointed."
