Joachim Löw, the 61 year old coach of the German team, in post since 2006, crowned world champion with Mannschaft in 2014 in Brazil (after the unforgettable semi-final against Brazil 7-1 and the final won in overtime against Messi's Argentina) will end his tenure as coach after the Euro. His star had faded after the elimination of Germany in the first round of the 2018 World Cup.
