#2 Joachim Low
The former assistant to Jurgen Klinsmann during his spell as German manager, Joachim Low took over after Germany fired Klinsmann after Germany’s third-place finish in the 2006 WC. Low was touted a the perfect replacement according to Klinsmann as he believed Low would continue the work they began together.
Low inherited an experienced squad and guided Germany to another third-place finish in 2010 World Cup. The German board kept faith in Low despite Germany losing the 2012 Euro final to Spain but in the last World Cup, Low took Germany all the as they won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Germany still under Low as manager won the Confederation Cup with an entirely new squad of players giving him a wide array of players to pick from for the upcoming World Cup in Russia.
Germany will go into football's most celebrated tournament as favourites to defend their title boasting a strong squad and an experienced manager with years of tournament experience.
