How Europe’s top bosses rate Ralf Rangnick

JURGEN KLOPP

The Liverpool manager is probably the most notable proponent of Gegenpressing, the all-action counter-pressing style first developed by Rangnick in the 1990s. Klopp believes he is a great fit for United, telling the media:

“Yeah, unfortunately, a good coach is coming to England, to Manchester United. That’s how it is. He’s obviously a really, really experienced manager. He built most famously two clubs from nowhere to proper threats and proper forces in Germany with Hoffenheim and Leipzig. He’s done a lot of different jobs in football but always his first concern was being a coach actually, being a manager, and that’s what his best skill is. United will be organised, I think, on the pitch. I think we should realise that and that’s obviously not good news for other teams.”
