Jurgen Klinsmann has been replaced by former assistant Joachim Low in charge of Germany.

Klinsmann, who wants to spend more time with his California-based family, has revealed why he decided to step down.
"I feel burned out," stated Klinsmann, who now intends to take a six-month holiday.
Meanwhile, Low is confident Germany can build on their success this summer by winning silverware in two years' time.
With the likes of Lukas Podolski impressing in the World Cup, Low knows the future is bright for the nation.
"Our goal is to be European champion," said Low.
"We are deeply convinced that we have established ourselves in the top of world soccer again.
"We have a young team that can only improve."
