Former Germany coach Joachim Löw thinks it's unlikely that he will come out of retirement and take a job with another team.

Since he stepped down as Germany coach in 2021, Löw has turned down all coaching offers he received so far.

"So far, I haven't felt that inner fire when it comes to the offers," Löw said on Monday during the German Cup trophy handover in Berlin.

Löw said he's been out of the game for a few years and that he doesn't know if he would have the energy to lead a team.

"Maybe I'll get an offer that really grabs me. But I think that's rather unlikely," he added.

There were recently reports that Löw was set to take over the Ghana national team, but he denied the rumours.

As an ambassador for Cup defending champions Stuttgart, Löw handed over the trophy to German Football Federation president Bernd Neuendorf ahead of the final between VfB Stuttgart and Bayern Munich on May 23.

He was Stuttgart coach from 1996 to 1998 and led them to Cup glory in 1997. With Germany, he won the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
