Hansi Flick, Jürgen Klopp, Stefan Kuntz and Ralf Rangnick are seen as possible candidates to succeed Joachim Löw as Germany coach.

Hansi Flick is the favorite to replace Joachim Löw when the 61-year-old steps back as Germany coach following this summer's European Championship, according to Bild.

Despite still being under contract with Bayern München until 2023, Flick has previously been touted touted as a potential successor for Löw.

And following the announcement that Löw will step back this summer, Bild has reiterated that it's 'by no means certain' that Flick will fulfill his contract with Bayern.

Flick is far from the only option, though. Jürgen Klopp would certainly be a popular pick among the fans, but the Liverpool manager is unlikely to leave England this summer with three years left on his deal. EDIT: Klopp has now ruled himself out of the race for the job.

Other candidates include Germany under-21 coach Stefan Kuntz and former Red Bull chief Ralf Rangnick.
