VfB Stuttgart reportedly wanted to get Jogi Löw as a consultant

VfB Stuttgart wanted to bring Joachim Löw back. the picture reported that the Swabians had offered the long-time national coach a job as a consultant. However, Löw rejected this offer.

An engagement at VfB would also have been a return to an ex-club for Löw. From 1996 to 1998 he worked there as head coach and won the DFB Cup with the club in 1997.

Stuttgart announced in September that ex-VfB players Sami Khedira and Philipp Lahm, who both won the World Cup in Brazil under Löw, would return as consultants. You have been working with CEO Alexander Wehrle ever since. Former national player Christian Gentner will also be working in Stuttgart again and will be in charge of the licensed players department there from January 1, 2023.
