Jogi Löw is not only in focus after the World Cup.
Many fans are not only interested in the future of the team and the national coach, but also in his private life.
Moscow - national coach Joachim Löw has to face severe criticism after the historic World Cup.
Some fans and experts even called for the 58-year-old to resign, but in the end he decided to continue.
Still-wife Daniela Löw should back him up.
Despite the end of love, the two still have a close friendship.
Otherwise one does not learn too much about Löw's private life.
After all, he once commented on the rumors whether he was gay, as reported by tz.de. *
One woman who comes close to Joachim Löw is ZDF presenter Katrin Müller-Hohenstein.
As a figurehead of soccer coverage, she reported live from the DFB quarter at the World Cup in Russia this year.
The paths of the 53-year-olds and the trainer not only crossed on professional paths.
In an interview with the magazine “Bunte”, Müller-Hohenstein spoke - mind you
already before the final and ultimately bitter game against South Korea
- about her closeness to the German team and above all about her connection to Jogi Löw.

Above all, the apparently friendly relationship between the moderator and the German national coach is striking.
After the national team's games, the 53-year-old Löw is also allowed to ask critical questions.
The closeness to the presenter even expanded at the World Cup: In Moscow, the 58-year-old and “KMH” lived just a stone's throw away from each other, and Müller-Hohenstein was often a guest in the German quarter.
The domiciles of the two were even so close to each other that they often met while jogging in the morning, reveals Müller-Hohenstein of the "colorful" :.
“He cheered me on: 'Come on Katrin!'.” According to the interview recordings, the trainer would not have missed the opportunity to comment on the performance of the morning exercise: “After the interviews, we tease that he was not faster than me, ”reports the moderator.

But the family closeness is not limited to the national coach, assures Müller-Hohenstein.
The reporter was in the immediate vicinity of the players during the entire World Cup: “Toni Kroos' mother was sitting in a German jersey in front of me on the plane, she couldn't stop shining.
Kroos's wife and children were also there, as well as Boateng's. "
The ZDF presenter on Jogi Löw: "He has kept his looseness"
When it comes to the private Jogi, away from the hustle and bustle of the World Cup, Müller-Hohenstein doesn't say a bad word either: “He's kept his looseness, that's exactly the right attitude.
Away from the field, he was the serenity itself, totally authentic, ”the presenter gives an insight into World Cup life behind the camera.
Nevertheless, she did not always have confidence in the performance of the team and the coach: “I was already mentally packing the suitcase.
My fate as a reporter from the German quarter is tied to that of the team, ”explains Müller-Hohenstein.
As mentioned, the interview was conducted before the DFB team left the World Cup.

Katrin Müller-Hohenstein on affair rumors: "This is all nonsense"
It seems clear that despite all the work and the heated World Cup atmosphere on site, it wasn't just professional contact with the team: "I talk to them non-stop, but not about football when we meet."
Müller-Hohenstein even talks about alleged rumors about an affair with national coach Joachim Löw and rejects them resolutely: "Oh, that should remain a secret, we wanted to announce our connection only after the World Cup - no, that was a joke ... I'm used to being accused of love affairs with Klopp, Kerner and Kahn.
Probably not with Löw.
That's all nonsense, ”assures the 53-year-old.
Nonetheless, Müller-Hohenstein is sure that she can be a good player in an emergency: “If that were the one I love, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
And many of today's player women are more than just appendages to their husbands.
But my friends have nothing to do with the football business. "
In addition, Jogi Löw has to put up with a lot of criticism.
He and Bierhoff are accused of having acted too carelessly.
