Ralf Rangnick’s reputation took a hit at Man United. He’s changing the story at Euro 2024

Associated Press  

DUESSELDORF, Germany — Cristiano Ronaldo said he’d never heard of him and Manchester United fans have few fond memories of his short-lived spell as manager of the Premier League club. “If you are not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United?” While Rangnick’s previous job had been head of sports and development at Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow, his coaching credentials had been long-established in Germany, where he earned the nickname the “Professor”. So effective was Rangnick’s brand of soccer - dubbed “gegenpressing” - that it was widely-regarded as having influenced a generation of German coaches including Jurgen Klopp, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel. “We started with an unlucky own goal against France, dealt with all the pressure put on us to win against Poland, and then to end as group winners is something very special.” As well as his coaching career, Rangnick also has a reputation for his work as an executive, having identified numerous emerging players and coaches during his time as sporting director of Leipzig.
