Only the seasons this archive holds are listed — it begins in 2000/01 and covers league matches in the five competitions named above, so a career that started earlier or ran through other leagues shows a gap here rather than a blank.

How this page is put together

The career table above is the structured record held on Wikidata under a public-domain licence, read once and cached, not queried while you are reading. The player is bound to that record by date of birth rather than by name: a name search returns the wrong Klose and three different Robinhos, and a page carrying somebody else’s links cannot afford that.

Compare any two clubs he played for with the head-to-head tool, or read the records these seasons feed into.

Where do these figures come from?

Career record

Club	Seasons	Seasons recorded

The record spans 15 years, from 2001 to 2015, across 3 clubs, with 2 moves between them. The longest single spell was at Germany, 13 recorded seasons from 2001 to 2014, and the average club spell runs to 3.7 seasons.

International football accounts for a further 13 seasons with Germany, running alongside the club years rather than after them — which is why the dates in the table overlap. No honours table appears on this page because the source holds no trophy records for Miroslav Klose — an absence in the data, not a statement that none were won. Where a club or national side is missing from a season, the same applies: the record shows what was captured, and stays silent about the rest.

Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.

Frequently asked

Which clubs did Miroslav Klose play for?

The record lists 4 senior teams: Lazio, Germany, Bayern München, Werder Bremen.

Over what period is Miroslav Klose’s career recorded here?

From 2001 to 2015. Coverage begins where the data provider’s own records begin, so a career that started earlier may show fewer early seasons than it had.

Which club did Miroslav Klose spend longest at?

Germany — 13 recorded seasons, from 2001 to 2014. The column counts seasons in which he appears in that club’s squad, not appearances, so half a season on loan still counts once.
