Joachim Low was born on February 3, 1960 in Schonau, West Germany. He is a football coach, and also a former football player. After completing his studies, Low started an apprenticeship as a wholesaler, and this allowed him to have a B plan if his career as a football player wouldn’t have been successful. He started playing for the SC Freiburg in 1978: he was a striker, and he scored 81 goals in 252 matches in Bundesliga (it’s still a record for the club). He also played with the VfB Stuttgart (in the season 1980/81), with the Eintracht Frankfurt (in the season 1981/82), and with the Karlsruher (in the season 1984/85), scoring 7 goals in 52 games before passing by other minor clubs, and finally retiring in 1995, when he started his adventure into coaching.

In 1994/95 Low served as a player-coach for the FC Frauenfeld. In the next year, he became the assistant coach of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolf_Fringer">Rolf Fringer</a> at the VfB Stuttgart. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolf_Fringer">Fringer</a> went to coach the Switzerland national team, and Low got promoted to the role of caretaker manager of the club in 1996. He brought the club to a fourth place in the Bundesliga in the season 1996/97, repeating the same performance in the next season, the 1997/98, when they reached the semi-final of the DFB-Ligapokal, losing against the Bayern Munich. The club also reached the prestigious final match of the UEFA Cup, but they lost 1-0 to Chelsea after having defeated the IP Vestmannaeyja, Beerschot, Slavia Prague and Lokomotiv Moscow in the previous matches.

In the season 1998/99 Low has been given the direction of the Fenerbahce in Turkey, reaching the third place in the Super Lig, and being eliminated in the first round of the UEFA Cup. 
Low went back to Germany during the next season, the 1999/2000, when he’s been given the direction of the Karlsruher SC. The club didn’t play well, and Low has been sacked after a record of 1 win, 7 draws and 10 losses, with the club occupying the last place in the Bundesliga. He went back to Turkey in December 2000 as a manager of the Adanaspor, but his management has been very negative, since the team hasn’t been able to win any match, and it was in relegation zone when he left.

In the season 2001/02 Low became the manager of the Tirol Innsbruck in Austria, leading the team to the victory of the Austrian Bundesliga with a record of 11 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. Unfortunately, the club had economic problems, and it had to declare bankruptcy, leaving Low temporarily unemployed. 
In the next year, during the season 2003/04, Low passed to the Austria Wien. The club lost the Austrian Super Cup to FC Karnten, and they got eliminated from the UEFA Cup by Borussia Dortmund in the very first round. Low left the club on March 2004, with the club being in the first place on the liga.

In 2004 Low started his work in the German national team, and he’s still its manager, 14 years and many victories after the start. Low went initially to Germany as an assistant manager when the coach was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jürgen_Klinsmann">Jurgen Klinsmann</a>. The two of them had already met at the coaching school, and they had a similar philosophy, focused on attacking, rather than defending as it had been for long time in Germany.
