Jurgen Klopp has endured a difficult start to his tenure as head coach of the Germany national team. In the second round of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League, the team suffered a 0:1 defeat against Greece.
This loss follows a 1:1 draw against the Netherlands in Klopp's debut match. With only one point from his first two games, the 59-year-old manager has recorded the worst start of any coach in the history of the German national team.
Historical data indicates that even legendary figures like Sepp Herberger and Helmut Schon, both of whom eventually led Germany to World Cup glory, managed to secure two draws and two points in their first two matches at the helm.
