Fourth quality defeat: Nagelsmann’s famous predecessor


Julian Nagelsmann is the first national coach to experience an away defeat in the World Cup qualification. Prominent predecessors were responsible for the three bankruptcies. He now gets advice from one.

Julian Nagelsmann would have liked to do without this DFB-Novum. The 38-year-old was the first national coach to accept an away defeat in a World Cup qualification game with the 0-2 in Slovakia. In general, there are only four defeats for the national soccer team in 105 excretion games. A weak consolation for Nagelsmann: prominent predecessors even lost at home.



October 16, 1985: 0: 1 against Portugal in Stuttgart

Of all things, under Franz Beckenbauer, Germany collects the first defeat in a World Cup qualification game. Carlos Manuel overcomes Toni Schumacher in the German goal for the winning goal for the Portuguese. The “emperor” can get over the result. The ticket for the final round has already been booked. In Mexico, the DFB team made it to the final against Argentina in 1986. Diego Maradona prevents the World Cup triumph.


September 1, 2001: 1: 5 against England in Munich

With Rudi Völler, Nagelsmann wants to advise himself on the Slovakia slump. Today’s DFB sports director knows exactly what bitter defeats feel on the World Cup path. In the Munich Olympic Stadium, England sweeps over the DFB team with Michael Owen. Team boss Völler has to go to the playoffs against Ukraine and solve the ticket for Japan and South Korea via the detour. In the Far East, Oliver Kahn and Michael Ballack lead Germany to the final against Brazil (0: 2). The fans sing: “There is only a ‘Rudi Völler”.




March 31, 2021: 1: 2 against Northern Macedonia in Duisburg

Joachim Löw also caught it shortly before his farewell as a national coach. After the resignation of the world champion coach, the DFB team starts the elimination round for Qatar 2022 with two wins. But everything goes wrong in the third game. The outsider from northern Macedonia counters cheeky and gets the victory in Duisburg. Löw’s successor Hansi Flick will then be able to qualify confidently – but the bitterly follows in the group phase in Qatar.
