The 61-year-old, who was appointed coach of Azerbaijan this month after quitting as Nigeria boss in the wake of their African Nations Cup exit, believes Joachim Low's side have what it takes to go all the way in Austria and Switzerland.

Speaking about being drawn in the same qualifying group as Germany for the 2010 World Cup, Vogts told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: "I think that when we face Germany in qualification we will be playing against the Euro 2008 champions."

Vogts was in charge of Germany the last time they won a European Championship match - the final in 1996 against Czech Republic.
