Ralf Rangnick on the verge of being appointed Interim Manchester United manager: Reports

Manchester United have finally settled on their search of appointing an interim manager till the end of the season in the form of Ralf Rangnick. According to reports from a number of leading news outlets in England, the 63-year old manager will be handed a six-month contract till the end of the season.

Ralf Rangnick has also made Manchester United include a further two years as a consultant role at the club, and his appointment looks imminent in the coming days.

Ralf Rangnick is currently serving as the head of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow

Rangnick is currently serving as the head of sports and development at Russian club, Lokomotiv Moscow and the appointment will only be finalised after the club agrees to let go of him. He is regarded as the ‘godfather’ of modern coaching in Germany and has had plenty of success in his esteemed career as a manager so far.

He won the German Cup with Schalke in 2011, and also took them to the Champions League semi-finals that year, where they were eventually beaten by Manchester United.

However, United fans will have to wait at least a week to see the German manager take charge of their club as he waits for his work permit in England and won’t be seen in the dugout for United’s next fixture against Chelsea this weekend.

Ralf Rangnick will take over the job from Michael Carrick, who was appointed as the interim manager. The former Manchester United player started the job well, leading his side to a 2-0 victory in their UEFA Champions League encounter against Villarreal to secure qualification into the knockout rounds.
