Germany head coach, Joachim Low, insists he is not thinking about stepping down from his role but he also hints that he will be interested in a new challenge.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 were firm favourites among bookies and experts before the tournament had kicked off. When the 2012 European Championships eventually started, the Mannschaft looked like a class above the rest as they cruised to the top
of their group.
Impressive performances led to comparisons with great teams of the past and their head coach was praised for being a tactical genius and what not.
It was just a matter of time until they were found out, the Germans faced Greece in the quarters and they hammered them and reached the last four of the 2012 European Championships.
In the next round they faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 where the Mannschaft were unable to break the 7 year hoodoo of not beating the Italians in a major tournament. Following the loss to Cesare Prandelli’s men, rumours started to circulate in the
press about Low’s resignation.
The former Fenerbahce manager however, denied these claims and stated that he has a contract with German FA and is determined honour it.
"Generally, I have a contract. Leaving? Such things have not crossed our mind. Our journey has been very, very good,” he is quoted as saying in an interview.
Despite reiterating his desire to continue as the manager of Germany, Low hinted that he would be willing to take-over a new challenge.
"I must get a little distance to see if there are any new attractions out there," he added
Joachim Low took over from Jurgen Klinsmann after the 2006 World Cup, and has guided Germany to three consecutive knockouts of major tournaments. The 52-year old has come under criticism after Nationalelf’s elimination from Euro 2012. His decision to rest Mario
Gomez for the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 was heavily criticised by many former players.
Low recently revealed that he would not be resigning from his post after the 2014 World Cup, so he could reflect on his achievements. The manager was also under-fire for getting his tactics wrong for the last-four clash against
Italy.
