Madrid (AP) - Bayern coach Hansi Flick welcomes the decision of the DFB that Joachim Löw may lead the German national soccer team as national coach for the European championship next year.

«I am happy that Jogi can continue.

He has done a lot for German football, ”said Löw's former assistant on Tuesday evening on Sky before Bayern Munich's Champions League game at Atlético Madrid.

Flick became world champion in Brazil in 2014 together with Löw.

Even after the 6-0 defeat against Spain, he trusts his former boss to find his way back to success with the DFB selection.

“It is normal for a result to make such waves in a football country like Germany.

You have to endure that, »said Flick.

"I am absolutely sure that he will draw the right conclusions and that we will see a different team and a different performance on the pitch in the new year," said the 55-year-old.

Record national player Lothar Matthäus doubts that. "At the moment Joachim Löw does not give me the impression that he is reaching the players like he did at the 2014 World Cup," said the Sky expert.

"He was sitting helplessly outside, that irritated me," commented Matthäus about Löw's biggest defeat as national coach two weeks ago in Seville: "After the game against Spain, you didn't have the impression that the team and coach are one."

Ex-national player Benedikt Höwedes, who belonged to Löw's world championship team in 2014, expects a combative national coach in the European Championship year.

«I think that Joachim Löw is extremely ambitious, that this 6-0 draw really annoys him and that he has the great incentive to show all German fans once again that a successful European Championship is being played.

He will invest everything in this, »said Höwedes.

The DFB Presidium had confirmed Löw in office on Monday and after a meeting in Frankfurt expressed its confidence in Löw.

“It was the step I expected.

I didn't expect anything to change in that position, ”said Höwedes.

«He's still a good coach.

The only question is how enthusiastically he communicates this to the young talents. "
