Joachim Löw: German dismisses reports linking him to Ghana coaching role ahead of World Cup.
Former Germany manager Joachim Löw has firmly denied reports suggesting he is in talks to take over as head coach of Ghana’s national team ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Speculation had emerged in sections of the Ghanaian media that the World Cup-winning coach was being considered for the role, with claims that discussions with the Ghana Football Association were progressing positively and that he had expressed interest in the position.
However, Löw has moved swiftly to shut down the reports, insisting that no official contact has been made. “No one from Ghana has officially spoken to me,” he told Sky Sport, casting doubt over the possibility of any imminent appointment.
The reports surfaced following Ghana’s decision to part ways with head coach Otto Addo after a 2–1 defeat to Germany, a result that intensified scrutiny over the team’s technical direction ahead of the global tournament.
Löw, who guided Germany to World Cup glory in 2014, has been out of management since stepping down from his role with the national team nearly five years ago. Despite his absence from the dugout, the 66-year-old has indicated he remains open to returning to coaching under the right conditions.
“I don’t want to retire if there’s another interesting offer where I can say, ‘That’s a good prospect’,” he said in a recent interview, adding that his extensive experience makes national team roles particularly suitable.
Ghana, meanwhile, face a challenging task at the World Cup, where they have been drawn in a group alongside England, Croatia and Panama for the tournament scheduled to take place across the United States, Mexico and Canada from 11 June to 19 July.
While the search for a new head coach continues, Löw’s remarks suggest that any move linking him to the Black Stars remains, for now, firmly in the realm of speculation.
