Low famously ruled out taking the job when Zidane left in 2018 and Julen Lopetegui was eventually instated for a brief time.
“I absolutely rule it out,” Low said ahead of the 2018 World Cup where Germany were knocked out in the group stage.

“Why should I leave if I do what I like? You go through bad times, of course, that’s normal in life. At Madrid we know that it’s a great club and that what you have to do is compete. And, here, there will always be changes.”
