Could one of the Ed's give any opinio / info i ralf rangnick, just read an article about his style philosophy. Problem with article was all about how good this worked and how good that worked and he does this and doesn't do that, didn't mention any problems with him, mentioned he likes 2 up top and wingers to come in narrow to support, talks about his pressing and pressing traps and high intensity and also how he is a lover of science snd stats and how he believes a counter attack should finish within 10 seconds, doesn't like possession for possession sake and likes to get from one end of pitch to other in as quickly as possible and is a blend of Sacchi and klopp?
{Ed001's Note - I don't think it really matters as I believe he is looking to move on from management now to be more of a director of football role to build a club/group of clubs isn't he? Pretty much like he is at RB.}

He would be a fantastic Technical Director, with the right manager beneath him.
I think he was Germany’s earliest pioneer of pressing football. The list of managers that have adopted his style includes Klopp, Tuchel and probably all the top German coaches.
Like Ed said, he’s probably done his time in management now and is more behind the scenes.
I’d love us to bring him in as a TD above Frank, I think Frank and Chelsea could learn a lot. If not Frank than one of the young German coaches who share his philosophy.
