Loew To Remain As Germany Coach Despite World Cup Flop
Joachim Loew will remain in his job in spite of Germany’s humiliating exit from the 2018 World Cup in Russia, reports in the country say.
The four-time winners crashed out after the group stages to the surprise of the football world.
According to Germany’s best-selling daily Bild and Sport Bild magazine, Loew, 58, will stay on to rebuild the national team, which finished bottom of their group in Russia.
It was the first time since 1938 that a Germany side failed to get past the first round at a World Cup finals.
The German Football Association (DFB) has yet to confirm the reports, but Loew has a contract until the 2022 World Cup.
Loew returned from Russia considering his future, but the DFB said they would not sack him.
The Germany coach has promised to change the squad, suggesting that several of the World Cup winners who under-performed so badly in Russia may have played their last game for their country.
