Does ex-national coach Joachim Löw have a new job soon?
According to a report, the Belgian federation is interested in the 2014 world champion coach. Other big names are also being traded.
Munich/Freiburg – It has now been around a year and a half since Joachim Löw made his job as national coach available to the German Football Association (DFB) – after 15 years.
Unforgotten is the world championship title with the German national team in Brazil in 2014.

But it was also remembered how Löw really clung to his post at the end of his term in office, even though the criticism of his work had become unmistakable.
After the botched European Football Championship in 2021, he finally resigned.
After a long break, the 62-year-old from southern Baden could soon take on a new coaching job.
Specifically: According to
Sport1
, the Belgian newspaper
Het Nieuwsblad
reports that the Belgian association is allegedly interested in Joachim Löw.
The "Red Devils" have been looking for a successor for Roberto Martinez for weeks, who resigned as national coach immediately after the disappointing preliminary round of the 2022 World Cup.
