German national team coach Joachim Löw has ruled himself out of a move to the Santiago Bernabeu as the Spanish club now face the task of appointing a successor following Zinedine Zidane's surprise resignation.
"I rule this out totally. Madrid will find a suitable replacement but yes, the Zidane resignation did take me by surprise", affirmed the German national team coach as his side prepare for a World Cup warm up game against Austria.
