Joachim Löw reflects on Germany's 2014 World Cup triumph

Joachim Löw, who coached Germany to victory at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, remains a pivotal figure in the nation's football identity more than a decade later. Under Löw's guidance, Germany combined experienced players like Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger with rising stars such as Toni Kroos and Thomas Müller, culminating in a memorable World Cup campaign. His tactical acumen and adjustments were crucial during the tournament, especially in the 7-1 semifinal victory over Brazil. Following Germany's exit at EURO 2020, Löw stepped down in 2021 after 15 years as the national team coach. Although he has not returned to coaching, his legacy is secure as the architect of Germany's fourth World Cup title.
