Maglie Calcio A Poco Prezzo
The former World Cup winner came under fire for making comments about Queiroz's Iran side, aiming a dig at the team for "their culture" in harassing match officials and winning free-kicks.
The 58-year-old, who was in the BBC studio analysing the game as a pundit, has backed down after initially defending his comments and insisted he was not speaking culturally but purely in the context of football.
Iran lodged an official complaint to the BBC over the remarks, while an enraged Queiroz called for Klinsmann to step down from his position as part of FIFA's Technical Study Group in a lengthy Twitter post on Saturday.
The Portuguese coach called his comments a "disgrace to football" and Klinsmann's comments appeared to add tension to relations between the USA and Iran, with a press conference ending early due to a question over such comments.
But with Klinsmann failing to give an outright apology to Iran or Queiroz in his comments, it remains to be seen whether his statement will bring an end to the saga.
