Loew savoring historic success

Germany coach Joachim Loew said on Wednesday he never considered leaving his post after winning the World Cup title and insisted he would see out his contract, which runs until Euro 2016.

"I didn't think of stopping for one second," said Loew, 54, in an interview published on the German Football Federation (DFB) website.

Loew took over as Germany head coach in 2006 after two years as assistant to Jurgen Klinsmann and extended his contract until 2016 before the World Cup in Brazil.
