FIFA World Cup 2018: Joachim Loew's job safe even if Germany exit tournament at group stage, says German FA

Firstpost  

German coach Joachim Loew’s job is still safe, in spite of German enduring a difficult start to their World Cup campaign with a shock 1-0 defeat against Mexico. Kazan: Joachim Loew is safe in his role as Germany coach even if the defending champions exit the World Cup early, the boss of the German FA said ahead of Wednesday’s crunch clash against South Korea. “We decided in the DFB executive committee before the World Cup to offer a contract extension,” DFB boss Reinhard Grindel told Frankfurt-based newspaper FAZ, adding, “we believe there will be a transition that will take place after the World Cup, regardless of the outcome of the tournament, and no one is better equipped to handle that than Loew.” Germany won last year’s Confederations Cup in Russia even though Loew opted to leave his World Cup-winning stars at home, boosting his reputation further. “He proved a year ago at the Confederations Cup that he can make young players into an impressive team who play outstanding football,” added Grindel, stating, “that is still valid, as far as we are concerned.” Click here to view the points table of FIFA World Cup 2018
