“?Germany manager Joachim Low is set to continue in his role with the national side until at least the 2018 World Cup, “?according to the Mirror.
Germany exited Euro 2016 after they were beaten by the host nation France 2-0, and Low’s future had been in question, but he is now set to stay on after talks with the DFB.
Low’s Germany won the World Cup in 2014, and were strong favourites alongside France to win the Euros this summer, but his side couldn’t replicate their form from two years as their star players buckled in the semi-final.
Low, 56, has now confirmed his intention to stay on until at least the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
“The end of a tournament is a good time to pause’, Low revealed after the tournament in France.
“We were all disappointed after the semi-final and the weeks leading up to and during the tournament were exhausting. But for me it’s clear: despite this disappointment our team did not disappoint. We had the tournament’s youngest team and I still see a lot of potential.
“I am sure this team will bring us plenty of joy and I am as happy as ever to be able to work with these players and keep developing them towards the World Cup in 2018.”
DFB president Reinhard Grindel has confirmed the football association’s endorsement of Low as ‘the best coach for this team.’
“We never doubted that he would be determined to continue his journey and work towards our main goal of defending the World Cup in 2018.
“He has our unconditional faith and we are confident that we can continue to play successful football in the future with him at the helm.”
