The German Football Federation announced (de) that assistant coach Joachim Löw got a 2-year contract as national trainer, after Jürgen Klinsmann elected not to renew his contract after the Worldcup. Löw hails from Schönau (de) in the Black Forest, and I find it intriguing to see a fellow Badenser and former player at SC Freiburg (our regional football “powerhouse”) take the reins of the national team. It appears that Löw will provide good continuity of Klinsmann’s style and leadership – hopefully also of Klinsmann’s success.
