Löw? He's one of the best at getting a team to peak performance for a very specific and limited timeframe, e.g. international tournaments. He's also very good at building a harmonic squad and confidence within it, albeit not being a top tactician. He's very reliant on on field right hand men, who lead the team and have tactical understanding (Schweinsteiger, Lahm). His whole approach is to build a harmonic unit that thrives on that 4 week challenge of a WC or EC.
I'm pretty sure he won't be able to shift back to club football, and don't think he'll ever do. He knows he's been **** at it. Got a feeling he's aiming at the record for longest serving DFB coach. After that it's DFB official or TV for him.
Favre is the way to go.
Favre is the only way to go.
You may know more about this than I do but I've heard he isn't particularly keen to work at a big club. I suspect he doesn't quite enjoy the expectations which come with.
I also have/had questions over his mental resilience and ability to stick it out when things get tough. He had a pretty rough first half to the season with Nice which he has recovered from, but what happens when he goes through a bad patch at Arsenal and the obsessive media start to get on his back.
Outside of those concerns, there's no manager I rate higher than him. Relative success everywhere he's been.
