News about Joachim Low

Mesut Ozil, a former Arsenal and Real Madrid player, is expected to be the next general manager of Turkey's national team. According to reports, the Turkish Football Federation is planning to fire head coach Stefan Kuntz and general manager Hamit Altintop. Kuntz has been dismissed from the company, but the German will attend a meeting on Wednesday.

Jurgen Klopp's (right) agent has reiterated the Liverpool manager's contribution to the Premier League despite calls for him to replace under fire Germany manager Hansi Flick (left). The Germans suffered their latest humiliating loss, a 2-0 home loss to Colombia, that brought their dismal run of form to three victories in 11 games. Flick, who took over from Joachim Low in 2021, is under increasing pressure as their run of form begins to pick up from the group stages of the 2022 World Cup.

According to sources, Liverpool is hoping to expand their goalkeeping squad with a move for former World Cup champion Ron-Robert Zieler in what could be the transfer overseen by the Reds' likely new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke. The 34-year-old captain of two islands. Hannover 96 was one of Schmadtke's most notable signings after his appointment as sporting director at the German club in 2009. After a stint in Manchester, Zieler returned to his home country after being signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2008.

Leroy Sane 'is commuting between Munich, London, and Manchester' because his American model wife 'no longer wanted to live in Germany.' During the international break last week, the German international winger, 27, didn't attend Bayern Munich's training sessions, sparking rumors as to his whereabouts. According to German newspaper Bild, Sane was unable to spend any time with partner Candice Brook and their children, Rio Stella and Milo.

Joachim Low, a former Germany coach, is interested in a return to international management with Brazil. Low, according to BILD, wants to become Tite's permanent replacement after the World Cup in Qatar. Low hasn't recovered since stepping down from their position as a result of the postponed Euro 2020 event in June 2021. He was in charge of Germany for 15 years and led the team to World Cup glory in 2014.

CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: I stayed there for a while, admiring a print of Sir Geoff's iconic photograph on July 30, 1966, with his left leg extended in front of him and the ball soaring toward the West Germany net, one of the finest sports action photographs ever shot, CHIEF SPORTS. It was England's fourth goal in the World Cup Final and Hurst's third. The BBC commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme was quoted somewhere in the stands as 'They think it's all over,' and "it is now". Sir Geoff is one of the few links to a fading world, a link to a period of glorious past that we may never fully understand. Only he and the great Sir Bobby Charlton from the Boys of 66 remain, and the team is regarded as the youth that gave England its best sporting moment nearly 60 years ago. One of the lessons we can learn from the Gary Lineker affair, which the BBC should have heeded, is that there is a strong link between the sporting heroes of yesteryear and the fans. It's impossible to break the unity and near-unanimity of football's support for Lineker, not a World Cup champion but one of our best ever goalscorers, was another reminder of the affection in which we hold the game's icons.

Roberto Martinez left the federation after six years and a poor showing at the World Cup in Qatar, where the team only scored once and didn't make it out of the group tournament. He was appointed Portugal's boss earlier this month. According to Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad, the football association will meet again on Thursday and Friday to discuss who will replace the former Everton coach, who has several major names in the federation's sights. Low is the only one of the three names listed with international management experience, and he spent 15 years as Germany's head coach, leading the team to victory in the 2014 World Cup before he retired seven years later.

Despite their poor showing at the World Cup, Hansi Flick is expected to remain as Germany's head coach. After losing to Japan, Germany crashed out at the group stage in Qatar, putting them third in Group E, behind the Asian side and Spain. On Wednesday, the DFB (the German Football Association) declared that Flick will continue as head coach of the national team until Euro 2024, which will be hosted in Germany.

Luis Fernando Suarez, Costa Rica's coach, believes that the naming of a female referee at the men's World Cup is a major step forward for the'very sexist' football industry. Stephanie Frappart of France will make history by becoming the first woman to take charge of a match at the men's tournament as she leads Suarez's team against Germany on Thursday. After FIFA selected Neuza Back of Brazil and Mexico's Karen Diaz Medina as her assistants, the 38-year-old will lead an all-female on-field team.

KATHRYN BATTE IN DOHA: For the first time in 16 years, Germany has entered a tournament without Joachim Low and without a sense of urgency. This World Cup is a free hit for new manager Hansi Flick after a dismal showing at Euro 2020, and not just because many fans back home won't be interested. The build-up to this tournament has been stifled, with Germany being one of Qatar's most vocal critics of the country's human rights record. Fans of German football have purchased fewer tickets than previous World Cups and numerous bars and pubs have refused to attend any games in protest. And, there have been allegations that players should be ashamed for participating in the tournament. The negativity, on the other hand, is held at bay.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is just days away, with the first-ever winter edition of the tournament drawing ever closer. Qatar will launch proceedings against Ecuador on November 20 in the United Kingdom, while England's campaign against Iran will continue the following day. Following their triumph in Russia four years ago, holders France, as well as Brazil, are once more among the favorites.

OLI GAMP IN MUSCAT, OMAN: After landing in the Middle East, the Germans are gearing up for their World Cup battle, but the nearest Oman is where Hansi Flick has been rallying the troops. Germany kicks off their campaign against Japan in just one week, aiming to fix the mistakes of their miserable tournament in 2018 that saw them eliminated in group stages. They're already beginning to retaliate in Muscat, Oman's capital, early this week, allowing them to acclimatize to the heat and humidity a few days before most of their opponents.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is less than six months away, with the first-ever winter edition of the tournament drawing ever closer. The group stage draw has arrived and gone, with all eight teams, each consisting of four teams, deciding well ahead of the November 21 launch date. However, only 29 of the 32 participating teams have been decided as it stands. Three of the three places are still up for grabs, two of which will be determined after the intercontinental play-offs, with Australia playing UAE and Costa Rica facing New Zealand.

At an international level, not many teams can beat Germany. However, Spain has a history of doing exactly as a result of the last two decades. Spain has come out on top four times in the last seven meetings between the two teams, losing only once. Spain has defeated their opponents in the Euro 2008 final and the 2010 World Cup semi-finals in South Africa during this time. Matches have often been decided by the unexpected result, with little to distinguish the European giants. That's until Spain's last game in the Nations League in November 2020, when they defeated Spain 6-0 in a thrillingly one-sided match.

Now less than a month away from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, emulation is starting to build. On November 21, the first ever winter tournament will get underway, but the domestic campaign will take place a month later on December 18. There are a number of intriguing matchups, but Group E could be even more exciting, with two leading franchises and two teams more than capable of releasing a surprise or two. A youthful Spain and a rebuilt Germany will have no trepidation, and that sets us up for a thrilling series of group stage matches.
