Jurgen Klopp’s wait for his first win as Germany boss continued as his side were upset at home by Greece in the Nations League.<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool manager was taking charge of his second match as head coach after a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands on Thursday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Germany were beaten in Augsburg by Dimitrios Kourbelis’ 74th-minute goal after the midfielder’s shot from the edge of the box deflected in off Joshua Kimmich.<\/p>\n

Despite dominating, the hosts – who had a much-changed side and brought on Florian Wirtz from the bench – failed to find a goal.<\/p>\n

Greece are ranked 41st in the world and had never beaten Germany across their 10 previous meeting before Sunday evening (seven losses and three draws).<\/p>\n

Klopp, 59, was appointed on a four-year deal in July,<\/a> replacing Julian Nagelsmann who resigned after Germany’s shock World Cup defeat by Paraguay in the last 32.<\/p>\n

They are now winless in four matches since beating Ivory Coast in their second group game at this summer’s World Cup.<\/p>\n

The result meant Greece returned to the top of Nations League Group 2, having beaten Serbia on Thursday and well-positioned to reach the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

By defeating Germany, ranked 12th in the world, they recorded their biggest win by world rankings since they beat England at Wembley in 2024<\/a> when the Three Lions were ranked fourth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jurgen Klopp’s wait for his first win as Germany boss continued as his side were upset at home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[59,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-784736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-gb","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
