Klinsmann started his coaching career at the Bundesliga with a 2-2 draw against Hamburg SV at the Allianz Arena.
Klinsmann commented: "I would have preferred to start with a victory, but the draw was a fair result ... The players who were at UEFA EURO 2008 are not at 100 per cent yet, but I see my team developing in training every day. We'll need some time to perform at our best, but our time will come."
As to the three substitutions he made, Klinsmann explained: "Bastian (Schweinsteiger) is not fully fit and, after an hour, he was having a few difficulties ... I wanted some fresh legs and knew (Andreas) Ottl would be able to get a few more touches of the ball in midfield ... Miro (Klose) has played all of Euro 2008 and simply is not at the level that we want him to be at ... This is only the first Bundesliga game and he is probably only halfway ready, but it is normal at the start that we are not working harmoniously."
