Joachim Löw is known for so much more than digging his nose in the live during the World Cup finals. The German led Die Mannschaft for a number of years, with the 2013/14 World Championship title being the big highlight. He has followed German football very closely, and knows a lot about what gives German players in the Bundesliga or other leagues the best run-up to the biggest championships. Löw now advises Florian Wirtz to allow himself to be patient.

Bayern Munich are going all in for Wirtz in the summer, Manchester City and Real Madrid have also hammered on the 21-year-old’s door. For Löw, the youth club Bayer Leverkusen provides the best conditions for the 2026 World Cup and will be the best career move.

-He would do well to wait until after the World Cup in 2026 to change clubs. He will be able to play at Leverkusen, even though he has a weak period. He will definitely be able to play,” Löw told Welt TV.
