This fourth World Cup title victory has elevated Loew to 'football god' status enjoyed in Germany by Franz Beckenbauer (1990), Helmut Schoen (1974) and Sepp Herberger (1954).
Having been appointed Jurgen Klinsmann's assistant in 2004 before becoming head coach in 2006, Germany have reached at least the semi-finals of all five major tournaments during his decade involved.
Loew was Jurgen Klinsmann's assistant for two years before taking over after the 2006 World Cup. He was widely credited for being the mastermind behind the tactics of Klinsmann's team.
"Everyone changes over ten years, you gain experiences, you have triumph and defeats, but what he has preserved is a clear-cut philosophy," said his captain Philipp Lahm, who has been with Loew every step of the way.
'Home before the semi-finals' was the general verdict from disgruntled fans. Fast forward five weeks and the team lifted the trophy at Rio de Janeiro's iconic Maracana Stadium defeating Argentina 1-0.
Loew raised eyebrows in Germany ahead of this World Cup by picking only one true striker, 36-year-old veteran Miroslav Klose. He then caused some consternation by choosing four central defenders for his back four, with no trained fullbacks in the starting lineup.
