I’ll be able to write this entire article about the former German national team manager Joachim Löw without mentioning finger sniffing once.
Joachim Löw is ready to lead a crisis-ridden nation during the 2026 World Cup. The coach previously led Germany to World Cup triumph in 2014.

World Cup-winning national team manager Joachim Löw is reportedly in negotiations to lead a nation during the upcoming championship in 2026.
Löw, 66, is best known for his time as national team manager for Germany between 2006 and 2021, a period in which he led the European nation to World Cup gold in 2014, after previously leading the team to a third-place finish in the 2010 championship in South Africa.
The 66-year-old, who has previously coached several clubs, including Fenerbahçe and Stuttgart, has been without a coaching role since 2021 but could soon return to the bench. According to GOAL, Löw is in talks with Ghana with the aim of leading the West African nation at this year’s World Cup in North America.
Löw is expected to earn 150,000 euros per month if he accepts the role.
On March 31, Ghana fired Otto Addo just 72 days before the championship, after he had suffered four straight losses, which has made the team ranked 72nd in the world.
A statement from the Ghana Football Association read: “The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has parted ways with the head coach of the men’s national team, the Black Stars, Otto Addo, with immediate effect.

The federation would like to sincerely thank Otto Addo for his contribution to the team and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical management of the Black Stars in the near future.”
Ghana was drawn in Group L along with England, Croatia and Panama.
The Black Stars will face Panama in the tournament opener in Toronto on June 18, before facing Thomas Tuchel’s England in Boston on June 23.
Then Ghana will face Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27.
The World Cup kicks off on June 11, where the host nation Mexico meets South Africa in Mexico City in the opening match.
In an interview with Kicker last year, Löw admitted that he had received “several offers” to return to the coaching role “over the last few years”.
“I wasn’t really interested in coming back,” he said. “But now I’m ready to consider opportunities that make a good impression. I have extensive experience with national teams and preparing for major championships.”
He also explained that he felt that he should have left the Germany job three years earlier than he did.
“I should have given up after the 2018 World Cup to make room for someone with new ideas who could better handle the transition from the ‘golden’ generation,” he added.
