MUNICH: Jurgen Klopp celebrated his first win as Germany manager on Thursday as his side eased to a 2-0 win against Serbia in the third fixture of their UEFA Nations League campaign.
Liverpool's Florian Wirtz and Bayern Munich's Tom Bischof both found the net as a youthful Germany made short work of a lacklustre Serbia team in Munich.
It was a win that lifted the pressure on the new national team boss, after he began his tenure with a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands and a shock 1-0 defeat to Greece last weekend.
Another loss, or a draw, would have made Klopp the first Germany coach in history not to win any of his first three games in charge.
Instead, victory marked a cautious sense of optimism for the four-time world champions, as they look to return to the international elite under Klopp.
