Joachim Low
Only time will tell if the German federation, the DFB, made the right call when giving advanced warning in March that national team coach, Joachim Low, in the post for 15 years, would be stepping down after Euro 2020.
“Jogi” Low, who since the ’s humiliating first-phase exit from World Cup 2018, has been on the receiving end of much criticism from fans and media alike, obviously hopes the announcement will take some of the to play. The concept of a “farewell tour” is a risky business, with the real prospect that Jogi swiftly turns into a lame duck figure, shorn of authority and cachet. Knowing that the man in charge only has a limited shelf-life, will the players be prepared to listen and follow?
