Succeeded Rolf Fringer in 1996 and led the Swabian side to a German Cup win in his first season and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final against Chelsea FC in his second. • Left Stuttgart for Fenerbahçe but struggled to match his early success until he joined Tirol Innsbruck, guiding the team to the 2001/02 Austrian Bundesliga title. • After nine months with Austria Wien he was summoned by old friend Jürgen Klinsmann to become his assistant with Germany. The pair steered the Nationalmannschaft to a third-place finish on home soil at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. • Replaced Klinsmann as head coach, taking the side to a runners-up spot at UEFA EURO 2008 and third place at the 2010 World Cup. They also reached the last four of UEFA EURO 2012, before qualifying unbeaten for the 2014 global finals with the coach signing a new two-year deal running until 2016. The real glory was to follow in Brazil, Löw leading the team to their fourth world title with a final defeat of Argentina. Allen Bula Date of birth: 4 January 1965 Nationality: Gibraltarian Playing career: Manchester 62, Gibraltar United FC, St Joseph's FRAC, Glacis United FC Coaching career: Gibraltar • Having turned out for many of the top sides in Gibraltar, as well as the national Under-21 selection, Bula's hopes of a long football career were dashed when a serious injury brought an end to his playing days at just 22. • The charismatic Bula moved to England to study, and helped out with the youth teams at non-league outfits Dover Rangers FC and near neighbours Dover Athletic FC. • Bula's footballing life took an unlikely turn in 2004 when he went to Slovakia to work in the youth academy at 1. FC Košice, becoming the club's head of football development in 2006. • Serbia midfielder Nemanja Matić and Manchester City FC youngster Albert Rusnák were two players who came through the Košice ranks under Bula. • Named as Gibraltar coach in 2010, Bula split his time between the Rock and Slovakia for a while, but is now full-time coach, leading the territory in their first game as a UEFA member nation, a 0-0 draw with Slovakia on 19 November 2013. 6 Germany - Gibraltar Friday 14 November 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion Nürnberg, Nuremberg Match officials Referee Alexandru Tudor (ROU) Assistant referees Aurel Oniţă (ROU) , Octavian Șovre (ROU) Additional assistant referees Ovidiu Haţegan (ROU) , Cristian Balaj (ROU) Fourth official Ovidiu Artene (ROU) UEFA Delegate Eggert Magnusson (ISL) UEFA Referee observer Emil Bozinovski (MKD) Referee UEFA EURO Name Date of birth UEFA matches matches Alexandru Tudor 13/09/1971 5 81 Alexandru Tudor Referee since: 1990 First division: 1999 FIFA badge: 2001 Tournaments: 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, 2001 UEFA European Under-16 Championship Finals N/A UEFA European Championship matches featuring the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 12/10/2010 EURO QR Kazakhstan Germany 0-3 Astana Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 01/07/2001 UIC R2 TSV 1860 München FK Smederevo 3-1 Augsburg 30/09/2004 UEL R1 TSV Alemannia Aachen FH Hafnarfjördur 0-0 Cologne 14/02/2008 UEL R32 SL Benfica 1.
