WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Germany coach Joachim Loew says his future after the World Cup remains open, although the president of the country's football federation says he is ready to keep Loew in the job.
Talks about extending the contract of Loew and his staff, long considered a formality, collapsed unexpectedly Thursday and will not be resumed until after the June 11-July 11 World Cup in South Africa. The failure of the talks exposed a deepening rift between the federation (DFB) and Loew as the three-time champion prepares for the tournament.
