The crisis management around Joachim Löw will last at least until December 4th.
On that day, Oliver Bierhoff, as director for the national teams, will present the results of an analysis of the state of the German elite footballers to the Presidium of the German Football Association (DFB) after the historic 0: 6 against Spain.
The reported "Bild" after a switch from the highest DFB committee.
The debate should have been very factual.
According to the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”, however, “there is now an increased need for discussion within the Presidium - on one's own behalf.
According to this, parts of the committee would accuse DFB President Fritz Keller, 63, of a lurching course and a lack of communication after the defeat in Seville last Tuesday.
In terms of work-up, the DFB presidium agreed on a common line.
But now it's up to Löw, who has retired to his home in Baden, together with co-trainer Marcus Sorg, goalkeeping coach Andreas Köpke and Bierhoff to analyze and explain the current situation as well as the target situation.
Those responsible for the team must ultimately convince the Presidium of how they want to shape the team into a successful unit again in order to achieve the declared goal of the semi-finals at the EM in the summer of next year.
Is there a vote on Löw?

"There is no free ticket for Jogi Löw", quoted "Bild" an unnamed participant of the switch from Friday.
He will listen very carefully to what Löw's review looks like and what perspective he is showing the DFB Presidium with a view to the EM 2021.
This also includes the question of whether there is a need for more experienced players in the squad who would take over command - “especially when things don't go well”.
The main concern is the retirement of ex-world champions Mats Hummels, Thomas Müller and Jérôme Boateng.
It is unclear whether there will be a vote on Löw's future after the meeting at the beginning of next month.
That Bierhoff should explain the situation is because he is responsible for the sporting direction.
Only three days after the presidium meeting that was already scheduled, the World Cup qualification will be drawn in Zurich on December 7th.
The national coach will not be able to convene his squad again until mid-March, so that he can work with his national players for the last time before the EM training camp.
