Joachim Löw will take the announced break after the end of his 15-year era as national coach - the 61-year-old does not want to know anything about the end of his career.
»After 15 years at the top, it will do me good to free myself from responsibility.
An emotional break is important for me, I've been at the DFB for so long, you don't immediately look around for something new, «said Löw after the 2-0 (0-0) in the European Championship round of 16 against England.
“I have to allow the disappointment and emptiness that comes too.
You don't shake off such a tournament in the first few days, it will take time, ”added Löw.
But then “there will be new energy,” he emphasized, “I never talked about retirement.
There are sure to be new tasks that will be of interest to me. «But he doesn't have a specific plan yet, said Löw.
Jürgen Klinsmann's former assistant looked back on “a lot of things” “that were very positive” - above all the 2014 World Cup triumph and the 2017 Confed Cup victory strong connections «to his players and other companions, said Löw:» There were moments that are unforgettable.
I got to know people who are very important to me in my life today. "
