The future of struggling German national coach Joachim Loew remains uncertain.
The German Football Association (DFB) has set a December 4 deadline for the 60-year-old to present a convincing plan for next year’s Euro and an analysis of the disastrous 6-0 defeat against Spain in the last Nations League encounter.
Loew is expected to deliver a precise picture of the team’s development over the past two years after the early group exit at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The DFB has demanded national team manager Oliver Bierhoff to present the findings as the 52-year-old is Loew’s boss. He is responsible for all national team issues.
The association wants to avoid the impression that Loew has to attend a tribunal.
It is said Bierhoff will meet with the coaching staff, including Loew, a day in advance.
In respect to Loew’s achievements, the coach has been made to think over his situation in the coming two weeks.
The case seems to boil down to a contest between Loew and former Leipzig coach Ralf Rangnick. Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp and Bayern manager Hansi Flick have both announced that they are not available at short notice due to club commitments.
Rangnick isn’t overwhelmingly popular on the DFB board.
