Germany coach Joachim Low is set to sign a contract extension until 2012 in the new year.

Low has agreed the deal with German Football Federation (DFB) president Dr Theo Zwanziger with the paperwork due to be completed after Christmas.

National team manager Oliver Bierhoff, assistant Hans-Dieter Flick, goalkeeping coach Andreas Kopke and chief scout Urs Siegenthaler have also agreed contracts which will run until after Euro 2012.

Zwanziger said on www.dfb.de: “We have agreed to continue with the same team in charge of the national team.”
