"There's nothing to it": Jogi Löw's advisor collects rumors about a top nation

Germany's world champion coach Jogi Löw has been without a job since leaving the German Football Association in the summer of 2021. A new task would now definitely appeal to him. In Belgium, his name is traded as the new national coach. Löw's advisor responds to the rumours.

World champion coach Joachim Löw will probably not become the national coach of the Belgian national football team. "There's nothing to it," Loew's advisor Harun Arslan told "Sport Bild". The Belgian newspaper "Het Nieuwsblad" previously reported that the 62-year-old Löw was one of the candidates to succeed Roberto Martínez, 49, and was "shortlisted".

In addition to Loew, the 50-year-old Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino, ex-Paris Saint-Germain coach, is said to be on the list of a task force looking for possible candidates for the Belgian association. The Portuguese André Villas-Boas and the Spaniard Rafael Benitez are also traded.

Martínez resigned after Belgium lost at the World Cup in Qatar and is now Portugal's selection coach. The French Claude Puel and Hervé Renard and the Italian Andrea Pirlo are also said to have been on the list of successors. However, they have now been deleted, it said. The Belgians are also looking for a new technical director.

Löw, who led the DFB team to the World Cup title in Brazil in 2014, has been without a job since July 2021. After 15 years as national coach, he stopped in the summer of 2021 after falling in the round of 16 and has since taken a break.

A new challenge would appeal to him. "I already have the intention of taking on a task in football again. The sport is too much fun for that. I feel motivated again when I watch football now - that wasn't the case for a few months," said Löw in the told the "Kicker" last November.
