Joachim Low has confirmed he will remain as Germany coach until after Euro 2012. 50-year-old Low ended speculation over his future on Tuesday by announcing he has extended his contract by two years. Low's previous deal expired after the world meet, but the team's impressive display in South Africa - where they reached the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Spain - led to a public clamour for it to be extended. Team manager Oliver Bierhoff, Low's assistant Hans-Dieter Flick and goalkeeping coach Andreas Kopke have also renewed their deals until after the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine. "We are all pleased that we can continue our work with the national team," he said. "Our team has excellent sporting prospects and it is a big challenge for us to be able to get stuck into the preparations for Euro 2012 after the successful world meet in South Africa."
