‘Motivated again’ – Germany legend Joachim Low targeting return to management 18-months after leaving international role
JOACHIM LOW has signalled his desire to return to work over a year after leaving his post as Germany boss.
The 62-year-old sniffs an opportunity to get back into the game, after taking an extended break following 15 years in his previous job.
Low reached the pinnacle of football in 2014, when he guided his country to World Cup glory.
But he handed the reins over to Hansi Flick after underwhelming in subsequent tournaments.
His last match as a manager was the 2-0 Euro 2020 defeat to England last year.
Low now finds himself hungry to return to the profession he loves… after attending the World Cup in Qatar as a fan.

Speaking to German publication Kicker, the coach said: “I already have the intention of taking on a task in football again.
“The fun in this sport is too much for that.
“I feel motivated again when I watch football now – that wasn’t the case for a few months.”
He then added: “If I feel a task appeals to me, I’m ready and attack again.”

On the upcoming festival of football in Qatar, Low continued: “I would like to experience a World Cup on site as an outsider.
“That’s why I haven’t gotten a job yet.”
Low hasn’t worked in club management since a stint with Austria Wien during the 2003-04 season.
Prior to that, he coached FC Frauenfeld, Stuttgart, Fenerbahce, Karlsruher, Adanaspor and Tirol Innsbruck.
Low then assisted Jurgen Klinsmann as Germany boss between 2004 and 2006, before landing the top job himself.
