The altar boy from Schönau who won the World Cup

"One win more, one defeat more. There are other important things: family, friendship, values." 

Joachim Löw has retired as manager of the German national football team after 15 years and 198 games.

Among the team’s many victories under his stewardship was the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

Hansi Flick is the new German manager.

I was ordained a priest the day West Germany beat Netherlands in the World Cup in Munich on July 7, 1974.

Löw, born in Schönau in the Black Forest, was an altar boy in the parish church of his childhood.
