We'll find it again," he said Wednesday."The things that the DFB needs, all the information, I've mailed all that over. It's all being taken care of. It's not a problem,” he said.The paperwork issue was first reported by German newspaper Bild.Klinsmann didn't expect to be coaching when he returned to football with Hertha. Klinsmann had been tapped to join the club’s supervisory board in early November but ended up being offered the coaching role when Ante Covic was fired following a run of poor results.Since then, Klinsmann has hauled Hertha away from the threat of relegation with two wins and two draws in his five games in charge.
