DFB Sticks with Low Despite Group Phase Elimination....

[Enugu II]

Time will tell if this is the right decision but it certainly is better than a knee-jerk action that occurs in the football world after each loss, IMHO.

The world champions crashed out at the group stage in Russia after defats to Mexico and South Korea, but the DFB have decided to stick by the manager
Joachim Low is set to stay on as Germany coach, despite their World Cup humiliation in Russia.
The reigning world champions were eliminated at the group stage, finishing bottom of a group comprising Mexico, Sweden and South Korea.

Despite the win over their European rivals, losses to Mexico and South Korea have prompted much soul searching in Germany and led to intense speculation over the future of Low.

However, the German Football Association (DFB) have confirmed that he will stay at the helm, with many reports suggesting that he signed a new contract before the tournament began.
"I am very grateful for the confidence that the DFB has in me, and despite the justified criticism of our elimination, I also feel support and encouragement," Low said in a statement.
"It was important for me, after a few days, in which I have thought a lot, to personally get in touch with the DFB leadership. My disappointment is still huge. But now I want to design the rebuilding with full commitment.
"I will analyse together with my team, hold talks and draw the right conclusions at the start of the new season. It all takes time, but everything will happen in time for the start of the new international season in September."

DFB president Reinhard Grindel has insisted that Low is the best man for the job, adding: "We had a very open and trusting exchange in which we raised many points. We are all firmly convinced that with Jogi Low we have a national coach who will analyse very carefully, take the right steps and lead our team back on the road to success.
"It would be premature, however, to demand a comprehensive analysis just days after such a tournament."
Sweden, the only team Germany managed to beat in Russia, face Switzerland in a last 16 encounter on Tuesday, and will play either England or Colombia in the quarter-finals if they are victorious.

This is unacceptable, the bare minimum for Germany is to win the cup, he didn't he must be fired. Simple and short. Why is he talking about rebuilding? What a clueless coward!

a world champion that crashed out in the first round like your rookie coach

I wonder what the clueless popular German opinion was about Lowe before he became a 'World Champion" in 2014.

But it's his ability to completely believe in himself and his team that is his greatest strength, even when nobody else seems to believe in him. For some reason, his success does nothing to detract from the number of his staunch critics

6% of Germans polled by the Citizen believed they could win the whole damn thing going into the Brazil Carnival in 2014. Prior to that almost 72% of the people who took part in a goal.com poll in October 2013 thought Germany were in need of a new coach. Around the same time, almost 3,800 football fans cast their vote in a transfermarkt.de ballot – more than 62% of them said that Loew’s contract should not be extended.

And yet...

They were never going to fire because he won in Brazil and they like the work done so far and have confidence in him.

The only reason why we are reading this is because it’s Germany,they’ll be back and they will win big again!

[Goldleaf]

Joachim Low made the same mistakes that defending champions make. They tend to believe majority of the players that won the World Cup can do it again in the following one. The team that won the Confeds for Germany was actually much stronger than Low's presentation in Russia. Something tells me he will not make that mistake again and he has learnt his lesson the hard way.

How stupid of him!
He hasn't won a single trophy after four years and he has the audacity to take this young team to 2010 WC. For what exactly? To learn? "What are they learning?" (©Fabio)

Fabio....you Cellular and Bullimia12 (amongst many others) would have called for this guy's sack at least two years before, having failed to meet Germany's targets on three occasions.

This is your philosophy and you need to own it.
You want to use Low's SUBSEQUENT triumphs to argue why he shouldn't have been sacked after three failures (and counting) in his first FOUR years in charge.
It turned out to be EIGHT years before he won anything. But "Rohr should go.... NOW!"

You Nigerians can argue sha.

Please Pause First.

Let's examine the facts: Low, in his first tournament in 2008 ended with a defeat in the FINAL against SPAIN, this was in the days of Tika-Tika. Losing 1-0 to the then excellent Spanish team is a very good outing.

In his next tournament WC 2010. Low lost to Spain against in WC Semi- Final in they hey days of Tika-Tika.

In Low first four years:

1) 2008: Euros Final (Silver, 2nd Place).
2) 2010: World Cup Semi- Final (Bronze, 3rd Place).
3) 2012: Euro Semi - Final.

According to Damunk the above achievement are failures. Figures don't liar, liars cant figure.
