Ex-Germany coach Löw says he's unlikely to come out of retirement

Former Germany coach Joachim Löw thinks it's unlikely that he will come out of retirement and take a job with another team. Since he stepped down as Germany coach in 2021, Löw has turned down all coaching offers he received so far.

Joachim Löw, the celebrated former manager of the German national team, has cast doubt on any potential return to the sidelines, suggesting that a comeback is "rather unlikely." Since stepping down as Germany's head coach in 2021, the 64-year-old has remained out of the game, turning down every coaching offer that has come his way.

"So far, I haven't felt that inner fire when it comes to the offers," Löw admitted on Monday during the German Cup trophy handover in Berlin. "I've been out of the game for a few years now, and I'm not sure I'd have the energy to lead a team again."

The World Cup winner, who famously guided Germany to glory in Brazil in 2014, acknowledged that while he remains open to possibilities, the odds are slim. "Maybe I'll get an offer that really grabs me. But I think that's rather unlikely," he added.

Recent speculation had linked Löw with the Ghana national team, but he quickly dismissed those rumors as unfounded. Instead, he was in Berlin in a ceremonial role, serving as an ambassador for defending German Cup champions Stuttgart—a club he previously coached from 1996 to 1998, leading them to Cup victory in 1997.

Löw's legacy in football is undeniable, marked by his tactical acumen and a World Cup triumph that cemented his place among the sport's elite. For now, however, the man who once orchestrated Germany's greatest modern success seems content to stay on the sidelines, his future in coaching uncertain but his influence on the game everlasting.
