The summer break is good for the players, but even the German national team manager is pleased that it's almost over. Who'll take the title? Who'll prove to be this season's surprise package? Which of the summer signings will fit in best at their new side? In an interview with DFB.de, Joachim Löw talks about his expectations for the coming season, which begins on Friday as FC Bayern München take on Hamburger SV. The 55-year-old also gave his opinion on the transfer of the legendary national captain Bastian Schweinsteiger.

DFB.de: Mr Löw, the holidays are nearly over and the Bundesliga begins again this weekend. What are your thoughts for the coming season?

Joachim Löw: For me, alongside the English Premier League and the Spanish Primera Division, the Bundesliga is the strongest league in the world, and it keeps getting even stronger. Every year, exciting players and characters come to Germany from abroad, and many promising and talented youngsters make the step up to the senior squad. This, as a result of Germany's superb development of young players, constantly makes the league more attractive. Therefore I, like the majority of fans, am pleased that it’s finally getting under way.
