Playing career

In his playing career, Lőw played for Újpest, Energie Cottbus, Hansa Rostock, Hoffenheim, and Mainz 05 from 2009 until 2011, under coach Thomas Tuchel.^[3]

Coaching career

Lőw started his coaching career a year later, in 2012, as assistant coach of Peter Zeidler at FC Red Bull Salzburg's farm team FC Liefering. When Adi Hütter joined Salzburg as coach in 2014, Lőw became his assistant until Hütter left for Bern. Salzburg won the Austrian double with the 2014–15 Austrian Football Bundesliga, and 2014–15 Austrian Cup. Lőw, at the same time, joined RB Leipzig, as one of the assistants to Ralf Rangnick. When Leipzig was promoted to the Bundesliga, Rangnick stopped being coach and hired Ralph Hasenhüttl as coach who continued to work with Lőw as his assistant. Leipzig finished as runner up in 2016–17 Bundesliga. The following season Leipzig dropped out of the Champions League and continued in the Europa League. After beating heavyweights Napoli and Zenit Saint Petersburg, they lost against Marseille in the quarter-finals.^[4]

In July 2018, when Hasenhüttl decided to leave Leipzig, Lőw left to join Thomas Tuchel as an assistant at Paris Saint Germain.^[5]^[6]

In December 2020, PSG sporting director Leonardo terminated Tuchel's contract.^[7] Tuchel's staff, including Lőw, were let go as well.^[7] Lőw went with Tuchel when the German was hired by Premier League club Chelsea the following month.^[8] He was in charge of Chelsea's Club World Cup semi-final as Tuchel was isolating after a positive COVID-19 test.

Lőw left Chelsea after Tuchel was dismissed as head coach. In March 2023, shortly after the latter had been appointed head coach of Bayern Munich, Lőw joined him as an assistant.^[9]
