ex-national coach
Former national coach Joachim Löw feels ready to return to football after a month-long break. “I already have the intention of taking on a task in football again,” said the 62-year-old in the “Kicker” interview. “The fun in this sport is too great for that. I feel motivated again when I watch football now – that wasn’t the case for a few months.”
After 15 years as national coach, Löw left the DFB in the summer of 2021 following the knockout round at the European Championships and has since taken a break. Now he would like to work as a coach again. “If I feel a task appeals to me, I’m ready and attack again,” he said. But before that he wants to visit the World Cup in Qatar. “I would like to experience a World Cup on site as an outsider,” said Löw. “That’s why I haven’t started a job yet.”
As the “Sport Bild” recently reported, Löw had rejected an offer from his former club VfB Stuttgart to take on a consulting job there. Since Pellegrino Matarazzo’s dismissal around two weeks ago, the Swabians have been looking for a coach again. Despite the 5-0 defeat at BVB, interim coach Michael Wimmer was given a deadline until the World Cup break in November, after which, according to sports director Sven Mislintat, a new coach would be chosen from three candidates. The “Bild” had previously reported that a personal item traded in Stuttgart would only be available after the World Cup.

Löw is also discussed as a possible candidate in the Transfermarkt forums with a view to his statements in the “Kicker” interview – especially since he has two confidants in Philipp Lahm and Sami Khedira at his former club, with which he won the DFB Cup in 1997 from his world champion team of 2014 as a consultant at management level. “Löw worked as a national coach for a long time. But he won’t have survived the day-to-day business, I’m sure of that. He knows VfB. VfB knows him. It should be clear that he is a very good coach. Would he ‘do’ Stuttgart again? Why not,” writes TM user “Behind-Blue-Eye” about the speculation about the 62-year-old.
The user “ostalbler”, however, is skeptical about the coach, who was born in the Black Forest: “Löw may have motivation, but in my opinion, with his antiquarian style and his often unreasonable attitude, he is not an option for VfB, sorry.” “olli1893 However, he is certain that the future of the former national coach does not lie in the Bundesliga: “With his self-image as a world champion coach, Löw will not accept a position with a Bundesliga team in a relegation battle. He’s waiting for a national team to fail at the World Cup and then this nation is looking for a new coach.”
That was the last tournament squad of the Löw era
