Klose has spent much of this year on the bench at Bayern with Van Gaal first preferring Ivica Olic and then selecting Mario Gomez when the Croatian was injured.

Although Klose is still likely to start for Germany in their Euro 2012 qualifier against Kazakhstan on Saturday, he is not happy and cannot wait for the summer when a new coach takes over.

"I have just got to make do with what Van Gaal gives me," he told the Bild newspaper.

"I have started to get used to being a spectator.

"What should I do? What can I change? I keep training and working. At the end of the day, the choice is his.

"I just have to live with it, however difficult it is for me.

"I cannot do any more than I am doing to impress Van Gaal with my daily work in training, and I think that I am doing well, but I am just not getting the chance."

Bayern have yet to reveal who their coach will be next season, although current Bayer Leverkusen coach Jupp Heynckes is the favourite.

Should he return to the club for a third time, Klose would certainly be one of the first to welcome him at the door.

"He is a very good coach," said the 32-year-old. "I worked under him for seven weeks and you could see then that he is a real expert.

"Many players who have worked with him in the longer term also see that.

"He can motivate everybody and has a fantastic eye."

Bayern have announced they will play a charity match in Japan at the end of the season to raise money to help the victims of the earthquake and tsunami which devastated the country.

An exact date has yet to be agreed with the Japanese Football Federation, but the Bayern board has given May 17 to 25 as a possible timeframe.

"Everyone has followed the terrible pictures of the earthquake and the tsunami and then the resulting worries of a nuclear disaster," said chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

"We traditionally have a close relationship and the Japanese FA and the clubs in the J-League, so it was a no brainer for us that we would do our bit for the Japanese people.

"We have decided to play a charity match in Japan after the end of the season to show our solidarity with our Japanese friends."

Rummenigge added Bayern would pay for their own travel costs and all proceeds from the match would go to the victims.
