Germany head coach Joachim Low has been assured that he will remain in charge of the national team regardless of how they do at the World Cup in Brazil.
Even if the Germans suffer a shock defeat to Algeria in the last 16 tomorrow, 54-year-old Low won't be sacked from his position.
"We still have the clear intention of carrying on with him," German publication Stern quotes German Football Association (DFB) president Wolfgang Niersbach as saying.
"There are no clauses in his contract which state that it depends on certain results."
Germany have never failed to reach the last eight when they have participated in a World Cup.
