After the biggest defeat since 1931 (0: 6 against Spain), Jogi Löw’s (60) coach chair began to wobble more than ever. On Monday, the German Football Association (DFB) made the final decision to continue with the world champion coach.
Reactions to the decision are divided. “Certificate deficient”, holders “Bild”. Despite the debacle in Spain, the 2018 World Cup preliminary round and devastating fan polls, Löw should remain in office. The DFB demonstrates “once again the flagrant weakness of leadership.”
DFB leadership also in focus
President Fritz Keller (63) and national team manager Oliver Bierhoff (52) are also in the spotlight alongside Löw. If the declared goal of the EM semifinals had been lost, the advantage would also have failed, according to the “FAZ”.
According to the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, the DFB “has lost the opportunity to let other eyes look at German football after 14 years of Löw”. With Ralf Rangnick (62) and Stefan Kuntz (68) circulated recognized substitute candidates as national coaches. Parallels are tied with Bayern Munich’s reaction after the 1: 5 applause against Frankfurt. The double winner Niko Kovac (49) had to leave, Hansi Flick (55) was hired and a few months later Bayern won the triple in the League, Cup and Champions League.
“Continue the path of renewal”
In its announcement, the DFB writes that “since March 2019, the path of renewal of the national team with the national coach Joachim Löw must continue without restrictions”. Therefore, the comeback of world boot champions Jérôme Boateng (32), Thomas Müller (31) and Mats Hummels (31) should be excluded. That also creates a lot of discussion about “The Team”.
Boateng, of all people, you might think, is one of those people who have been in favor of Löw’s decision. “I am happy that Jogi can continue. He has earned this trust in him in the past ”, he tells“ Bild ”. Bayer CEO Rudi Völler (60) also shares the same opinion: “I think this is the right decision. I am convinced that Jogi will play a good European Championship with his team. “(Smi)
