Freiburg / Frankfurt – For Joachim Löw is after the EM 2021 as National coach. The 61-year-old is stepping down as head coach of the DFB team after 17 years as a coach.
EM 2021 – Christian Streich as the successor to Jogi Löw?
Already now, two months before the start of the European Championship, numerous names for Löw’s successor are in circulation. Coaches like Jürgen Klopp, Lothar Matthäus or Hansi Flick are mentioned again and again. Flick, coach of FC Bayern Munich, was brought up on the subject again on Tuesday (March 16, 2021) at a press conference. A completely new name was used, which the debate has so far bypassed: Christian Streich.
The coach of SC Freiburg, who is known for his emotional coaching and his dialect, has been praised for years for his constant and good work in Breisgau. Flick also emphasized: “He has enormous quality, has an idea how he wants to play football.” When asked whether he also trusts Streich as national coach, Flick said: “I trust Christian to do everything.”

Only recently, moderator Marcel Reif had thrown in the name prank. Reif particularly addressed the connection between Freiburg’s coach and DFB President Fritz Keller, who had worked together for years in the Black Forest. In December 2020, Streich was confronted with a possible position as national coach – at that time he said: “There are a few hundred others who can or should become German national coach.”
“I think that’s too much for the honor.”
TV presenter Reif justified Streich’s proposal: “Because he is competent, because he can lead.” Streich has a contract in Freiburg that he only extended in February 2021. The DFB recently emphasized at a press conference that they want to be “very fair” with clubs, do not want to conduct secret negotiations and respect contracts.
Streich praises Löw – football and human
Christian Streich himself has not yet participated in the current discussion. At a press conference he only had words of praise for Joachim Löw. “There was also a different image of our football for a while. Jogi has already done a lot of positive things, ”said the 55-year-old. He also paid tribute to him personally: “Jogi is totally fine and a very, very cool and clean guy.”
