An extension to Germany coach Joachim Loew's contract is expected to be confirmed on Friday, according to the German football federation (DFB).
.
Loew's existing deal runs until the 2014 World Cup but both the manager and DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach have made it clear they want the arrangement to continue after Brazil.
.
Under Loew Germany made it through to the final of Euro 2008, where they lost 1-0 to Spain, third place at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and the semi- finals at Euro 2012.
.
And Germany have sailed through qualification for next year's World Cup unbeaten in their group, culminating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Sweden.
.
Since Loew took over from Jurgen Klinsmann after their third place in the 2006 World Cup on home soil Germany's record stands at 68 wins from 99 matches.
.
Loew's contract is one of the topics up for discussion at a conference Friday in Frankfurt, at which the coach is due to attend.
.
After Tuesday's final World Cup qualifier Loew when asked about his situation said: "I still have to talk to Wolfgang Niersbach... but I'm confident we will reach an agreement."
