Germany coach Joachim Low was at the pinnacle of football in the summer of 2014, having led Die Mannschaft to their fourth ever World Cup triumph, becoming the first ever European side to lift the coveted trophy in South America.
With a superb blend of steely veterans and extremely gifted youngsters coming through, it was expected that Germany would dominate world football for years to come, just like Spain's golden generation did when winning three trophies between 2010 and 2014.
Fast forward to today, a bitter semi-final defeat to France in Euro 2016, a shocking group stage elimination in the 2018 World Cup and finishing last in their Nations League group sees Low under immense pressure to deliver – and deservedly so.
