DBasia.news – Manchester United’s ambition to sign Ralf Rangnick did not meet any significant obstacles. The arrival of the German tactician is believed to be announced soon.
Manchester United had been linked with a number of big names after ejecting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from the manager’s chair. Mauricio Pochettino is one of the strongest candidates to fill this position.
However, the affirmation of Pochettino’s attitude to stay at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) made Manchester United change their minds. The English giants then want to appoint an interim coach until the end of the season.
Rudi Garcia and Ernesto Valverde were both included in the market. But Ralf Rangnick quickly won the competition.
Rangnick is reportedly very interested in this offer. But he asked for a bigger role at the end of the season and seems agreed by Manchester United officials.
According to The Athletic report, Rangnick will sign a contract at the beginning of next week. His debut will occur when Manchester United host Arsenal, Friday (3/12) early morning WIB.
Rangnick is actually still under contract with Lokomotiv Moscow. But the Russian club has given his blessing to go to Old Trafford.
From the same report, Rangnick will continue to be accompanied by Michael Carrick and Kieran Mckenna as assistant coaches. But he asked permission to hire several other assistants including a video analyst.
A tough task awaits Rangnick as soon as he officially handles Manchester United. The closest target is, of course, to return to the championship path by maximizing the potential of players from the existing squad.
