At the end of the 2020 European Championship campaign, Joachim Löw will leave his job as head coach of Germany.
The 61-year-old has been studying Spanish for some time, as journalist Christian Falk reports.
Löw has often told him that one day he would like to lead Real Madrid, according to the source.
It was previously reported that Hansi Flick is the main contender to take charge of the German national team in place of Joachim Löw.
However, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has affirmed that Flick will continue to work for the Munich-based club.
