For many, the 53-year-old's footballing idealism, public persona and well-coiffed hair are evidence that he is not suited for the job. Germany, they claim, have lost what made them a fearsome machine - the steely mentality of winners. Polls on numerous websites unanimously called for his sacking.
However, you only have to look at the transformation that has gone on within the Nationelf itself to understand the value of his work in revolutionising the team.
When he became involved with the DFB, first as Jurgen Klinsmann's assistant in 2004, German football was at its lowest ebb. They had just crashed out of the European Championship in Portugal at the group stages with a team of 30-somethings, long past their best.
However, within two years, Klinsmann and Low had completely revamped the team. Abandoning the style of old, they put their faith in the new generation of players, admirably finishing third in the 2006 World Cup on home soil, showcasing some great attacking football inethe process.
