Jogi Löw is planning a comeback as national coach – new challenges await!

Jogi Löw, the former national coach of the German national team, announced his comeback as coach today on April 3, 2025. This news reached the public on the sidelines of the cup semi-finals in Stuttgart. Löw, now 65 years old, explained that he does not want to retire. He is open to interesting offers with a promising perspective. Due to his over 15 years of experience as a national coach, Löw is often associated with various national teams.

“I feel like playing football again,” said Löw, emphasizing that training on the pitch was something very special for him. There have been rumors for some time that he could potentially manage a national team at the 2026 World Cup. Discussions on this topic are said to have already taken place, but so far without agreement.

Löw's impressive career

Joachim Löw, born on February 3, 1960 in Schönau in the Black Forest, has had a remarkable career. He was national coach of the German national team from 2006 to 2021 and led the team to the World Cup title in Brazil in 2014. During his tenure, he looked after the DFB team at four European Championships and three World Cups, including third place at the 2010 World Cup and second place at the European Championships in 2008.

Löw was promoted from assistant coach under Jürgen Klinsmann to head coach in 2006 and has had a number of successes since then. “The game is based on a modern football approach,” he said, emphasizing that the change in playing style became the basis for winning the World Cup. Löw, who ended his playing career in 1995, did not fully complete his coaching training, but worked as a coach at VfB Stuttgart, Adanaspor and Austria Vienna, among others.

A look into the future

With his comeback, Löw is primarily planning to return as a national coach and not as a club coach, which is arousing the interest of many associations. After the elimination in the round of 16 of the European Championship 2021 against England, he resigned from his post. The time after his coaching career was quiet, but now he feels a strong urge to get back into the action. “I see myself in the role of a national coach,” said Löw, as he hopes for exciting challenges in the near future.

Joachim Löw's comeback is causing a stir and expectations in the football world. The experienced coach, who is at the heart of German football history, could quickly be back on the sidelines - possibly at the upcoming World Cup in Canada, the USA and Mexico in 2026.
