Ralf Rangnick appointed as Manchester United's interim manager
The German coach has signed a six-month contract with the Red Devils
Manchester United have appointed Ralf Rangnick as their interim manager on a six-month contract until the end of the season. The German coach will take over from Michael Carrick, who has been in caretaker charge following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking last month.
Rangnick is a highly respected coach who has a wealth of experience in German football. He was the manager of RB Leipzig from 2012 to 2019, and he led the club to promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016 and to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.
Rangnick is also known for his work as a sporting director. He was the sporting director of Red Bull Salzburg from 2005 to 2012, and he played a key role in the club's development into one of the most successful clubs in Austrian football.
Rangnick is a demanding coach who is known for his attention to detail. He is also a good tactician, and he is expected to bring a more attacking style of play to Manchester United.
Rangnick's appointment has been welcomed by Manchester United fans. The Red Devils have been in poor form in recent months, and they are currently eighth in the Premier League table. Rangnick is seen as the man who can turn things around at Old Trafford.
Rangnick's first game in charge of Manchester United will be against Arsenal on Thursday night.
