National coach Joachim Löw has been criticized.
He had to face the top of the DFB - then the bosses made a decision about his future.
National coach
Joachim Löw
is still heavily criticized.
On Monday there was an unofficial
meeting
between Löw and the
DFB top
.
There the decision about his future was made.
Update from December 1, 6:40 p.m.:
After the
DFB summit
on the future of
Joachim Löw
, none of the participants has yet made public statements.
According to
Sport1
reporter Florian Plettenberg, that should change on Friday.
Then
manager Oliver Bierhoff will
explain the background to the conversation in front of the media.
According to the report, a return of the 2014 world champions
Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels and Thomas Müller
, who were retired a year and a half ago, is
“no longer excluded”.
In addition, the "probationary period" is over - which is not surprising, as there are
only
World Cup qualifying games
in the new year before the
EM nomination
.
Löw had - as already communicated - the
backing of the presidium
.
Personnel decisions would be his alone.
Update from November 30th, 3:55 p.m .:
The decision has been made!
Joachim Löw remains the national coach of the German national team.
The DFB expressed confidence in the Freiburg man for the future.
The DFB announced on Monday after talks in Frankfurt.
The decision will therefore be made much earlier than expected.
Actually, the DFB presidium should decide on this at the meeting next Friday.
The press release in full (excerpt):
“Today, Monday, the DFB Presidium agreed in a conference call to unreservedly continue the path of renewal of the national team with national coach Joachim Löw, which has been taken since March 2019. The Presidium followed a recommendation by the Presidial Committee and by Oliver Bierhoff, Director National Teams & Academy. A single game cannot and must not be a yardstick for the general performance of the national team and the national coach. "
The # DFB Presidium agreed today to continue the path of renewal of the national team with national coach Joachim Löw.

DFB: Jogi Löw faces the top of the association at the crisis summit - can he continue?
First report from November 30th:
Frankfurt - Can
Jogi Löw
continue?
Or does he have to go?
The national coach is apparently fighting for his future on Monday.
According to information from
Bild, he will be at
the top of the DFB five days before the crucial meeting of the Presidium.
Present at the groundbreaking crisis summit are President
Fritz Keller
, his Vice Presidents
Rainer Koch
and
Peter
Peters
,
Oliver Bierhoff
and Treasurer
Dr.
Stephan Osnabrugge
.
The separate meeting is extraordinary because it
anticipates
the
DFB executive committee meeting
on
December 4th
.
Actually, the decision should be made there - it is quite possible that the members will more or less be presented with a fait accompli in five days.
DFB: Can Jogi Löw stay?
The decision could be made on Monday
Since the
0: 6 against Spain
, Löw has been particularly criticized.
His possible
successor
is being hotly debated *.
Nevertheless, the tendency is more in the direction of staying.
A new national coach would only have three games to prepare the team for the
European Championship
- a very short window of time to turn things around.
In addition, Löw has two advocates, Bierhoff and Peters.
Does he even save his job with a plan? *
In any case, the Freiburg resident is said to have "not received a free ticket," as a DFB board member is said to have said.
He has to explain the poor performance of the past few years.
Löw himself, so one hears from decision-making circles, should not think about resigning.
He sees the shame of Seville as a "unique blackout" and refers to the sovereign
European Championship qualification
.
DFB: Will Jogi Löw's future be decided in private?
Presidium reacts disgruntled
One could call out the "week of truth" given the current circumstances.
Perhaps the decision will be made “unofficially” on Monday in a small group of bosses.
Anonymous
DFB Presidium members
warn whether this approach is before "going it alone", as the
picture
writes.
They fear that they will be passed over.
"The decision on the national coach is the responsibility of the presidium, not the presidial committee," one member is said to have said.
“Such a procedure is inappropriate and also damages the national coach.” (Epp)
