Joachim Löw Declined Saudi Arabia Coaching Offer in 2023
The former Germany coach reportedly turned down a lucrative role, with Roberto Mancini later taking and leaving the position within a year.
- Joachim Löw, former Germany national team coach, reportedly rejected a 2023 offer to coach Saudi Arabia's national team, according to Sport Bild.
- The position was later filled by Roberto Mancini in August 2023, who signed a high-value contract but left the role by October 2024.
- Löw, who has been out of coaching since leaving the German national team in 2021, has expressed interest in returning to the sidelines, particularly in international tournaments.
- Löw's coaching career includes leading Germany to the 2014 FIFA World Cup title and multiple deep runs in major tournaments, though his tenure ended after disappointing results in 2021.
- Saudi Arabia is set to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034, making the position a potentially high-profile opportunity.
