Julian Nagelsmann's first test as Germany boss will be in an international friendly against the United States men's national team (USMNT) at the Pratt & Whitney Stadium on Saturday.
Following their 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup semi-finals exit to Panama, the Yanks defeated the likes of Uzbekistan and Oman 3-0 and 4-0, respectively in friendly contests and are preparing for next month's Concacaf Nations League games.
Whereas Die Mannschaft, who came home early from the 2022 World Cup, suffered a string of poor results in the summer friendlies that led to Hansi Flick stepping down from his role as head coach. The Germans picked up their first win in five games in a 2-1 win over France in a friendly with interim Rudi Voller in charge.
