You should read Das Reboot by Raphael Honigstein. It actually goes somewhat in depth into Klinsmann coaching philosophy since Klinsmann did help reform German football into the powerhouse it is today.
You are essentially correct, at least according to Honigstein, that Jurgen is not a tactics guy. He is very motivational and believes that players are ultimately responsible for his/her own performance.
Whether you believe that is what the USMNT needs is up to you.
I'll also suggest Inverting the Pyramid and Soccernomics. Both are good reads.
The Secret Footballer's books are light and fun, if a little repetitive and a bit of a tease. I've found that he's always suggesting that he's going to reveal more than he ends up revealing, especially in the more recent books.
Das Reboot covers the recent history of German football and has some interesting stuff about Klopp in it.
And The Sun Shines Now is an excellent dive into the changes in English football post-Hillsborough, including looks at the media landscape and some investigation of German football as an alternative model for how clubs could be structured and relate to their supporters. It's a bit dry sometimes, but it's very, very good.
Far Foreign Land is about the 2005 Champions League final (and getting there), but it also covers Rome, Heysel, and Hillsborough. I think the long form really suits Tony Evans's writing style.
If you like oral history, check out Simon Hughes's books. I've only read Ring of Fire and Red Machine, but some of the interviews are top notch. Personally, I found the less famous players were usually more interesting than the more famous players.
Red Men is a stellar history of the club, particularly if you want to get familiar with LFC before Shankly.
Finally, if you like Inverting the Pyramid, you might find Talking Tactics interesting, too. I really liked it, but I'm not entirely sure that I got as much out of it as others might — it's kind of dense and dry.
