Lehmann weighs up Germany future
Goalkeeper Jens Lehmann's future with the German national team may depend on coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
Klinsmann is under contract until the end of the 2006 World Cup finals and has so far been vague about his future.
"Whether or not I stay on would depend on my personal situation and whether Jurgen stays," said the Arsenal keeper.
Lehmann was chosen as the hosts' keeper for this year's World Cup, replacing Bayern Munich's Oliver Kahn, who was the number one in the 2002 tournament.
Klinsmann lives in the United States and has been linked with coaching roles in his resident country.
But a run to the semi-finals in his homeland has put an end to the criticism he faced before the tournament began.
Lehmann added: "The players are very motivated and if he left there would be huge disappointment."
"I don't think it's up to us to demand anything of Jurgen. He knows the whole country loves the new kind of football he has introduced.
"I don't think he needs any more petitions for him to know we all want him to stay on."

Without being dis-respectful to Lehmann, I think the only reason hes praising Klinsmann is because he knows hes got a place in the starting XI if Klinsmann is boss.
