Jürgen Klopp's tenure as Germany's national team manager began with a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Greece in the UEFA Nations League. The decisive goal came in the 74th minute from Dimitrios Kourbelis, securing Greece's first-ever victory against Germany in 11 encounters. This loss places Germany third in Group A2 with one point from two matches, while Greece now leads the group with a perfect six points.
The German squad, described as "far from their best" by reports, struggled to break down the Greek defense. Players like Joshua Kimmich acknowledged the team's performance was "not good enough." This early setback has led to discussions about the current state of the German national team, with former player Bastian Schweinsteiger suggesting they are "no longer a top team."
