German National Coach Joachim Löw signs contract extension
DFB president Dr. Theo Zwanziger is delighted to have tied up the contracts so quickly: "I am very happy that we managed to extend contracts with Silvia Neid as well as with Joachim Löw. I am looking forward to continue working with such qualified and successful coaches and their teams.
The extension of Löw’s contract is a clear signal that we are facing the challenge of both EURO 2008 and World Cup 2010 trusting completely in his philosophy. In the same amount I appreciate Silvia Neid’s skills and kindness. For her the next big challenges are the Olympic Games 2008 and the EURO 2009. The coaches’ work as had many positive impacts recently. I wish both of them luck and success with our national teams, that are walking advertisements for German football. And I am sure that I speak on behalf of millions of fans."
