More information, I didnt know this:

Another lesson he's (Low) learned was trust the instincts and expertise of his No. 2. On Monday, Low praised the "tactical" and "personal" input of Hansi Flick, who has since departed to become sporting director at the German FA, during the tournament in Brazil. Flick was widely credited for upgrading Germany's threat from dead-ball situations, a key component of their successful campaign. His successor, Low revealed, is Thomas Schneider, 40, the former Stuttgart manager and player. It's a slightly left-field appointment but in line with recent decisions.
Nobody expected Low to employ Flick in the assistant role in 2006, just as Low's own hiring by Jurgen Klinsmann in 2004 had come as a huge surprise at the time. If Schneider works out equally well, it's not inconceivable that he will take over from Low after France. Five out of 10 national managers in (West) Germany's history started out as assistants, and each one of them has delivered at least one trophy. No pressure, then.

I thought Flick was likely to take over after France. Maybe they plan on Low being the Manager for Life.
