Löw will publicly discuss his decision on Thursday.

"I take this step very consciously, full of pride and enormous gratitude, but at the same time continue to be very motivated for the upcoming European Championship tournament," said Löw in the DFB announcement about the surprising resignation.
After 17 years, a fresh wind will blow on the coaching bench of the German national team.
