Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann was named Germany manager last monthJulian Nagelsmann's reign as Germany manager began with a win as the Euro 2024 hosts beat the USA in a friendly.
The night started badly as Christian Pulisic curled home from range to put the hosts ahead.
But Germany had been the better side and a routine tap-in by Ilkay Gundogan drew them level in Connecticut.
Nagelsmann's side were much improved in the second half and Niclas Fullkrug and Jamal Musiala scored to seal a comfortable victory.
Nagelsmann, 36, was handed a contract until July 2024 after Hansi Flick was sacked in September following a poor run of results, culminating in a 4-1 defeat by Japan.
Exempt from European Championship qualifying, Germany continue the Nagelsmann era in a friendly with Mexico on Tuesday evening (Wednesday 01:00 BST) in Philadelphia.
