Ralf Rangnick joins Manchester United as interim manager
The ex-RB Leipzig coach will oversee the club through to the end of the 2021-22 campaign, when a permanent manager will be appointed
Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of Ralf Rangnick as their interim boss, with the 63-year-old German returning to the dugout following a spell as manager of sports and development at Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow.
The Red Devils have put another stopgap in place after parting with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had been asked to step in at short notice himself back in December 2018.
With the 1999 Treble winner paying the price for inconsistency at Old Trafford, ex-RB Leipzig coach Rangnick has been asked to steady the ship through to the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
Rangnick’s deal as manager is for six months until the end of the season and he has been offered a two-year consultancy role beyond that, which was key in him making the decision to move to Old Trafford.
