It seems that Jurgen is frugal

It's weird how it all seemed to fit, though. Klinsmann has a reputation for modesty. He was never really caught up in the trappings of celebrity and is known for being a kind of free spirit. (Less flatteringly, you'll also see the word "scheinheilige" crop up here and there—a phony saint.) Throughout his career he's kept so low of a profile that it's come off like a political statement (he left the country for California in 1998). He lived above the bakery well into his professional career and drove a beat-up Volkswagen Beetle until it stopped running in 1995, five years after he won the World Cup. When a mechanic offered to restore it for him, Klinsmann just told him to take it.
