Timothy "Timmy" Chandler (born 29 March 1990 in Frankfurt) is a German-American soccer player who currently plays for Bundesliga side 1. FC Nuremberg and the United States men's national soccer team. He is also eligible to play for Germany as long as he does not play in an official competition for the United States.
Early life
Chandler was born in Frankfurt, Germany to an African American father who was born in New York and served in the U.S. military, and a German mother. His father and mother separated shortly after his birth. He continued to live with his mother in Germany.[1]
Career
Professional
Chandler began his career at Sportfreunde Oberau as well as time with Eintracht Frankfurt before transferring to 1. FC Nuremberg in the summer of 2010. He made his debut for the first team of Nuremberg on 15 January 2011 against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[2] On 12 February, he scored the first goal of his professional career against VfB Stuttgart.[3]
International
Due to the nationalities of his parents, Chandler holds both, a German and a U.S. passport. Therefore, he is eligible to represent either nation at the international level.[1]
On 16 March 2011, it was announced that Chandler would be part of the United States's 24-man squad set to face Paraguay and Argentina in international friendlies.[4] Chandler made his debut with the U.S. on 16 March 2011, playing the entire second half of a 1–1 draw against Argentina. On 16 May 2012, Timothy Chandler declined an offer from U.S. coach Jürgen Klinsmann to join his training camp for the upcoming friendlies and 2014 World Cup Qualifiers.[5] Klinsmann stated that Timothy expressed a need to take a break from the U.S. and find his international identity.[6] However, Chandler later accepted a call-up for the US friendly against Russia, stating that he was "in 1,000 percent."[7]
