Joachim Low: 'I will not take Real Madrid job'

Germany manager Joachim Low has ruled himself out of the running to replace Zinedine Zidane as head coach of Real Madrid.

Los Blancos are currently on the lookout for a new boss following the departure of Zidane on Thursday, and Low was said to be on the Spanish club's shortlist.

The 58-year-old, however, has insisted that he will not be making the move to the Spanish capital.

"I absolutely rule it out," Marca quotes Low as saying. "I'm sure they will find a strong successor to Zidane but that is not for me to worry about, I am here with Germany in the World Cup now."

World champions Germany will open their 2018 World Cup Group F campaign against Mexico on June 17.
