Joachim Loew News

Germany's players had made an important statement by displaying support for migrant workers building 2022 World Cup stadiums in Qatar on Thursday and coach Joachim Loew said the team stands for human rights, "no matter the location". 

Joachim Loew still has a year left from completing his contract, which ends after the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.  

The Germans are already without several players who are forming the new backbone of the team since the disappointing World Cup last year as they prepare to face the Dutch in Hamburg.

The Bavarians are in stellar form, having won 11 of their last 12 league matches, and have cut leaders Borussia Dortmund`s advantage from seven points to a two-goal goal difference in recent weeks.

The trio were part of the Germany squad that won the World Cup in 2014 and Mueller said the sudden nature of the announcement had left a bitter taste.

Loew started several youngsters in their 3-0 friendly win over Russia on Thursday, as he looks to gradually transform his team to depend less on the core of players who won the 2014 World Cup.

Loew’s contract runs until 2022, after been extended for two years in May. 

Richard Bevan praised the Germany team for keeping faith in their coach even despite their exit from the World Cup.

Every aspect of the national pastime, and that includes clubs, the top league, the national association (DFB) and the players themselves, has fed off this complacency for years.

Germany was knocked out of FIFA World Cup 2018 after losing 0-2 to South Korea on Wednesday.

The Germans must ideally now beat South Korea in their final group game to maintain their chances of advancing as one of the top two teams in the group but will need again to make changes to their lineup.

The German coach is in the crosshairs after sticking with a lacklustre Mesut Ozil instead of speedy in-form winger Marco Reus, and setting his team up in such a way that allowed the Mexicans to launch countless counter-attacks.

Joachim Loew says we will not just break apart now and become headless and do something completely different. There is no need to break out in a panic just because we have lost a match.

Joachim Loew says that setbacks during their preparation for Russia, such as a loss to Austria and a scrappy win against Saudi Arabia in their final warm-up games, never shifted the team`s focus.

Attacking midfielder Leroy Sane was a surprise omission from Joachim Loew`s final Germany squad for the World Cup finals on Monday as goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was named among the 23 players heading to Russia for the defending champions.

Germany coach Joachim Loew has said he regrets telling Mario Goetze to 'show the world you're better than (Lionel) Messi' during the Brazil 2014 final as the midfielder has since struggled to live up to his billing as a World Cup winner.

The home defeat cost the world champions their 22-match unbeaten run dating back to the Euro 2016 semi-final defeat to hosts France. 

Joachim Loew's side are only the second team to achieve the feat in a European qualifying campaign after Spain managed it on their way to winning the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Lars Stindl`s first-half goal in Sunday`s final sealed Germany`s 1-0 win over Chile, bringing down the curtain on the 2017 Confed Cup -- a warm-up for next year`s World Cup finals.

Lars Stindl`s simple tap-in was enough to seal Germany`s victory in Sunday`s final in St Petersburg as the youthful world champions lifted the Confed Cup for the first time.
