Low not offered €50 million to become China coach - says Chinese Football Association

Current national team boss Marcello Lippi is struggling to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and there has been speculation the Italian will be replaced

Germany head coach Joachim Low has not been offered a €50 million contract to become China’s next coach, according to the country’s football association.

Spanish newspaper AS had claimed that the Chinese Football Association were planning to bring in Low as a replacement for current coach Marcello Lippi.

However, the CFA has placed its trust in Lippi and is not trying to tempt World Cup-winning coach Low, who has been at the Germany helm since 2006, to Asia.
