GERMANY boss Joachim Low has ruled out taking over at Real Madrid.
The 58-year-old World Cup winner was linked with the vacant post following the shock departure of Zinedine Zidane.
But he has taken his name out of the mix as he prepares to take Die Mannschaft to his sixth major tournament.
When asked whether taking over at Real Madrid would be of any interest to him, he told Marca: “I absolutely rule it out.
“I’m sure they will find a strong successor to Zidane but that is not for me to worry about, I am here with Germany in the World Cup now.”
Real Madrid are set to turn their attentions to Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The Spurs chief is one of the favourites alongside Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp to land the gig.
Real chief Florentino Perez has been a long-term admirer of Poch, who has just penned a new five-year-contract with the North London side.
Pochettino revealed that he would have to hear any offer made from Madrid – although he was keen stress his happiness at Spurs.

Poch told El Confidencial: “When Real Madrid call you, you have to listen to them.
“Although in this case it doesn’t depend on me. I have just signed a long contract with Tottenham and I am very happy here.
“I am happy at Tottenham because they let me work and we are growing together.”
