Why can't the DFB fire Low and promote Kuntz? Now is the perfect time as the team is rebuilding and Kuntz is already familiar with many of the younger players.
Because Loew did a powerpoint presentation to all the stakeholders and they foolishly rushed to the media to say everything was great again
Simply put: Kuntz is inept to coach on that level. Truth is DFB dont have anyone to replace Löw. If they had, hed be gone by now
FWIW Dieter Hecking says he'd be open towards the NT coaching job if that offer ever comes his way in the future http://www.fussballtransfers.com/nachricht/hecking-wurde-uber-dfb-job-nachdenken_98657
turned 60 today. https://tv.dfb.de/video/zum-60-geburtstag-von-joachim-loew/27060/ damn he's been with Germany since he was 44.
Good thing he is still coaching. That way I won't get any dumb ideas like watching the WC in that dump Qatar with its stadium built by slave labour.
I can't do that, waiting 8 years to watch the next WC, not appealing. it's easy to ignore where a WC is staged. I completely forget that 2018 was in Russia, since I only pay attention to the matches and then move on. And Russia is not saint either. better not too look at politics/real world and just have fun with the football.
he extended until 2022 WC. I get the feeling he might ache to do Euro 2024. Would be ironic if his 1st tourney with Germany was 2005 CC in Germany and his last one is 2024 Euro in Germany. Dang, 2024, means he would be involved with Germany for 20 years..... the reason I say I feel like he might do more. Is that Low has been discussing Moukoko's progress in 2019. Why would someone who mentally is done in 2022 even bother with Moukoko? Can't expect me to believe that Moukoko will be senior NT ready in 2 years? 4+ years is more realistic.
Low will surely be fired if the team bombs again next summer won't he? Although the squad isn't as strong as it has been I still think the talent is there to make a deep run and anything less should be the end for Low.
he'll say it was tough group with Portugal and France and throw the team under the bus saying it was very young team playing 1st tourney in tough group. he already threw the team under the bus when he bombed in NL.
Yes bla bla bla ... that’s what he does . Does no one competent want the job , or why is Jogi with the NT for what is it 16 years ???
The only ones less competent than Löw since Flick's departure are the guys in charge of the DFB who would need to find a replacement. Which is probably the strongest argument to keep Löw as sad as that is.
Hopefully Loew copies Flick and try to do better next summer...at this moment it’s now crystal clear for everyone who was the real coach for Germany in 2014
It's a vicious cycle. Back then when Low was still Klinsmann assistant, Klinsmann doing jack shit in strategy whereby Low was the brain. Now Low lost the brain cell (maybe due to sniffing dangerous substance coming from scrotch region) and helped by Flick in strategy. Flick should take care of NT in the future.
Jogi successor? Flick is now a Klopp alternative Bayern have a new superstar - in the coaching bench. What Hansi Flick has achieved has never happened before. In nine months he made a triple winner out of a heap of rubble without buying a single new player. Great expertise combined with emphatic leadership instead of thick checks. This is proof of the true quality of a coach. BILD expert Mehmet Scholl is already warning Bayern that this will arouse desires at top clubs around the world - including at the DFB? If Joachim Löw does not extend his contract after the 2022 World Cup, Football Germany has so far only hoped for a successor named Klopp, which would still be a spectacular solution. Now there is an alternative with Flick. Thanks to this turbo triple, his name can be mentioned in the same breath as Heynckes, Hitzfeld or Klopp. With the Bayern block of the national team - Kimmich, Süle, Gnabry, Neuer, Goretzka, Sané - he works every day anyway. As Löw's assistant coach, Flick played a major role in the 2014 World Cup, as everyone at the DFB confirms. World champion as assistant coach and head coach - that has never happened before ... https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/...rnative-fuer-juergen-klopp-72544822.bild.html
Stay at Bayern 1 more year to win another treble + super cup + world club cup. Then coach Germany to the 2022 World Cup title and win Euro 24 at home. Then he can retire having completed football.
So it's no wonder that Flick is currently on everyone's lips and receives plenty of - and of course, highly justified - praise from all sides. Also from his former boss. "Hansi has a very high level of expertise. He has a high level of empathy. He can lead a team. He can advance a team," said Löw in praise of the Bayern coach: "He's very consistent and disciplined. And he has a way of doing that Players follow. He has the experience with the association and in other areas so that he could of course master such a task. " Between 2006 and 2014 Flick worked with Löw on the national team, where he was assistant coach. Both crowned the successful time together in 2014 by winning the world title in Rio. The FCB coach knows how things work at the DFB, which is one of the reasons why Löw could well imagine him as his successor at some point: "There is no question that I trust him to do that. I've worked with him for eight years.
You've got to factor Hansi's bank account into the equation. It's unlikely he is making the big bucks on his current 3 year deal (because he was unproven when he signed it). I doubt he ever made more than six-figures as an assistant-coach. He needs at least one big extension at Bayern before he retires.
