Today, Ralf Rangnick is the captain of the Austrian national team, and recently it was reported that he is close to taking over the German giant Bayern Munich.
But before the German’s time in the Austrian national team, he had a rewrite period as interim coach at Manchester United, when he took over from the sacked Ole Gunnar Solkjaer.
That’s how it went. Rangnick failed to lead the team to victory in 37 percent of the games in which he led the team.
Meanwhile, Rangnick was surrounded by challenges outside the chalked lines.
According to the German newspaper Bild, the 65-year-old above had problems with the world star Cristiano Ronaldo, who had returned to the club in the same season. The newspaper believes that Ronaldo made a “brutal request” to Rangnick to play “four out of five games”. The fifth game, which the Portuguese would not play, he would be left out of the team and follow from home – not traveling with the team and sitting on the bench.
It is not clear from the information what Rangnick’s response was to Ronaldo’s requests. But Ronaldo stayed longer at United than Rangnick. The Portuguese left at the start of 2023, and Rangnick retired after the 2021-22 season.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo has directed criticism at Rangnick afterwards.
– After Sir Alex left, I don’t know what happened (at Manchester United). There has been no progress at the club. An interesting example is that United brought in Rangnick after Ole. Nobody understood why, Ronaldo said, continuing:
– The man is not even a coach. The fact that a club like Manchester United includes a sports director as a coach, it surprised not only me – but the whole world. Let’s be honest, if you’re not even a manager, how are you going to manage Manchester United?
Ronaldo currently plays for Saudi Al-Nassr, where he scored 50 goals and 14 assists in 56 games.
