This is how Flick welcomes the DFB's decision to share a future with Joachim Löw. "I am happy that Jogi Löw can continue. He has done a lot for German football," said the former assistant to the national coach at "Sky".

Flick was also able to understand the reasons given by the DFB. Goals such as the personnel change in the national team, relegation in the Nations League or qualification for the European Championship had been achieved, he said.

Matthäus: "The explanations hurt me"

Record national player Lothar Matthäus has a different view of the situation, who cannot understand the decision. "The justifications hurt me a bit. That's not the truth that I've seen the last few months and two years," said Matthäus on Sky. He himself would have resigned after the 6-0 disgrace in the Nations League in Spain, he emphasized.

The fact that Löw succeeded in qualifying for the European Championship and staying in the Nations League does not put Matthäus mildly. "If those are the new goals that the DFB is setting out - that can't be the right way," said Matthäus firmly. Löw seemed "helpless" in Seville, "you didn't get the impression that the team and coach are one". The change in personnel should have been successful long ago.
