Low today ended speculation over his future by announcing he has extended his contract by two years.

The 50-year-old's previous deal expired after the World Cup, 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.

Low's youthful team beat England 4-1 and Argentina 4-0 in South Africa before losing to the Spanish.

He said: "We are all pleased that we can continue our work with the national team.

"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 Cup in South Africa."
