Germany coach Joachim Low insists uncertainty over his future will not affect his side's bid for World Cup glory.
Negotiations between Low and the German Football Federation (DFB) over an extension to his deal which runs out after the tournament broke down at the start of the year.
"It remains the case that we will talk after the tournament - whenever that will be," Low said in an interview with the Bild newspaper. "But I want to emphasise again, my relationship with the president (Dr Theo Zwanziger) is absolutely fine."
