Manchester United confirms successor to Solskjaer: Welcome to the best football club in the world – Športky.sk

MANCHESTER – German Ralf Rangnick is the new coach of Manchester United footballers. The English club agreed with him on a contract by the end of the current season, after which he should work as a consultant and consultant for the next two years. He replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as coach.

“Rangnick was the number one candidate for temporary coach for his invaluable leadership skills and nearly four decades of experience in management and coaching,” John Murtough, CEO of Manchester United, said after the appointment of the 63-year-old German helmsman. He is still waiting for a work visa.

Rangnick has so far been the head of the sports and development department at the Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow. He last coached RB Leipzig until 2019. Prior to that, he also worked in Stuttgart, Hanover, Schalke and Hoffenheim. Solskjaer was released by Manchester United on November 21 after a 1: 4 league loss to Watford. The team was then temporarily led in training and two meetings by assistant Michael Carrick.

“I am excited to be coming to Manchester United and I will make this season a success for the club. The staff is full of talent and strikes a great balance between youth and experience. All my efforts over the next six months will be focused on making me helped the players to reach their potential. I look forward to supporting the club in the long term through advice. ” Rangnick said.

He has never played in English football before, but the United management believes that after the success of the Germans Jürgen Klopp in Liverpool and Thomas Tuchel in Chelsea, he will be able to adapt quickly on the islands and move the club up the Premier League. The “Red Devil” belongs to the eighth place and they lose twelve points to the leader Chelsea after thirteen laps. The next hit awaits them at home with Arsenal on Thursday. If Rangnick does not manage to obtain a visa by then, Carrick will lead the team again.

“Welcome to the best football club in the world, Ralf Rangnick,” former Manchester defender Gary Neville wrote on Twitter. “The club needs to be rebuilt, DNA United has been missing for years. At the moment, there is no better person in the world who can do that. He has experience and understanding and knows the details of building not only the team but also the club from the ground up.” said former tracker Rio Ferdinand.

According to the British media, Paris coach Saint-Germain Mauricio Pochettino is the main favorite for the new coach when Rangnick ends in office this summer.
