Joachim Loew will consider his future as Germany head coach after the defending World Cup champions suffered a shock group-stage elimination. Loew's tenure is therefore under considerable scrutiny and, despite signing a four-year contract last month, he admitted he would take time to reflect on his future.

Asked whether he will continue in the role he has held for the last 12 years, Loew said: "That's hard to say. Of course, it takes a couple of hours to look into that. I'm shocked, I'm shocked because we didn't manage to pull it off."
