Germany chief Oliver Bierhoff insists there was never an approach from Real Madrid for Joachim Low.

Low was linked with Real after the resignation of Zinedine Zidane.

"There was no contact from Real Madrid," Bierhoff clarified at the presentation.

"Low renewed his contract with us before the World Cup and assured us that once he signed, he would stay in.

"Many teams are interested in his style of play but as far as I know, there was no contract."
