Rather surprisingly, the German federation has decided to retain German coach Joachim Low despite leading Germany to their worst World Cup campaign in recent times.
The 2014 winners crashed out of the competition following losses to Mexico and South Korea and needing a dramatic last-gasp winner to get past Sweden.
The defending Champions then joined France, Spain and Italy in the curse of the World Cup winner which basically is a curious situation which had seen the winner of the last 4 World Cups (bar Brazil) crash out of the group stage
Germany had reached at least the semi-finals in their last four World Cups.
“I feel, in spite of the legitimate criticism of our departure, generally much support and encouragement,” said Low.
“But now I want to design the rebuilding with full commitment,” he added. “It all takes time, but everything will happen in time for the start of the new international season in September.”
Low, 58, signed on in 2006 after Jurgen Klinnsman left the teams and has since guided Germany to a third Place finish in 2010 and a World Cup win in 2014.
