Reinhard Grindel, president of the German FA (DFB), is adamant Joachim Low still has the governing body's full backing and is hopeful the 56-year-old will remain in charge of the reigning world champions ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Low stated after Germany's Euro 2016 semi-final defeat at the hands of France on Thursday that he needed some time to consider his options and think about whether he wants to stay on.
Grindel understands Low's desire to reflect on Germany's performances following their exit, but nonetheless hopes he will decide to honour his contract until 2018.
"After the game against France, I thanked the players, the coaching staff and the support team for an incredible performance at Euro 2016," a statement from the DFB president reads.
"We had to fight injuries before and during this tournament, but despite that we played first-class football and showed good tactical prowess. That is all down to our coach.
