Jürgen Klopp’s first four matches as Germany head coach ended without a win as the hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Greece in the Nations League at Augsburg. The match, Klopp’s second in charge after a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands, saw Greece score in the 74th minute when Dimitrios Kourbelis’ shot from the edge of the box deflected off Joshua Kimmich into the net. Despite dominating play and a late introduction of Florian Wirtz, Germany were unable to find a goal.
Greece, ranked 41st in the world and having never beaten Germany in their 10 previous encounters, now tops Group 2 after a victory over Serbia. The result extends Germany’s winless streak to four matches since their last victory over Ivory Coast in the World Cup group stage. Klopp, who signed a four‑year contract in July, replaced Julian Nagelsmann following Germany’s shock exit from the World Cup.
Germany’s loss keeps the German team in a precarious position as they look to recover under Klopp’s leadership. The match will be remembered as Greece’s biggest win by world ranking difference since their 2024 victory over England.
