According to information from Bola (Indonesia), President of the Indonesian Football Federation Erick Thohir has just had a trip to Germany to discuss cooperation with the German Football Federation. One of the goals of the 53-year-old billionaire's trip was to find a director of engineering (technical director) for a series of ambitious plans.
The most notable name among the candidates is coach Joachim Low – who led the German team to the 2014 World Cup championship. Since leaving the German team in 2021, the 63-year-old strategist has not returned to his job.
Coach Joachim Low and Germany won the 2014 World Cup.
Some Indonesian media also reported that Mr. Erick Thohir wanted to invite coach Joachim Low to Van Dao with a 6-year contract. It is expected that the total salary for the German military leader can be up to 58 billion Rupi (about 92 billion VND).
During his coaching career, Mr. Joachim Low had 17 years of working as an assistant and then head coach of the German team. This strategist makes an important contribution to help change the face of the "Tank" with a beautiful attacking play. The climax was the 2014 World Cup where the German team won the championship with convincing performance.
The immediate plan of the Indonesian Football Federation is to quickly narrow the gap between Vietnam and Thailand in the FIFA rankings (Vietnam ranks 95th, Thailand - 114, Indonesia - 149) and aims to the 2024 Asian Cup. The further goal in the future is to win tickets to the World Cup finals.
