Bierhoff Ensures Low Continues To Train Germany Despite Being Knocked Out By Spain 6-0
JAKARTA - Germany national team coach Joachim Low is safe from his position even though his team was beaten by Spain 6-0 in the final Nations League group match on Tuesday local time. This was conveyed by the national team director Oliver Bierhoff as quoted by Antara from Reuters.
Germany suffered its worst defeat in a competitive match when Spain was out of control. A surprised Low couldn't explain his team who gave up at Sevilla so that they failed to make it to the semi-finals of the Nations League.
Germany have had a difficult time this year, winning only three of their last eight games, but Bierhoff said Low will stay in charge until at least EURO next year.
When asked if Low will stay as coach until EURO next year, Bierhoff told ARD TV: "Of course, yes. This match didn't change anything. We still trust Joachim Low, there's no doubt about that.
"With the national team, you have to think and analyze from tournament to tournament. We want to achieve maximum results at EURO next year."
EURO was originally scheduled for June-July this year but the tournament was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Germany only needed one draw to advance to the semi-finals of the Nations League but that result ensured that Spain progressed as the top-ranked team in the group.
