Manchester United, which could not get the desired results in the English Premier League this season, brought German coach Ralf Rangnick to his manager position temporarily until the end of the season. Rangnick will take over the team once he gets a work permit.
“I’m very excited to join Manchester United and focused on having a successful season,” said Rangnick, who left his post at Russia’s Lokomotiv Moscow team.
“All my effort over the course of six months will be to help players show their personal, but more importantly, potential as a team,” Ragnick said.
The 63-year-old coach also said that he finds the team, which is balanced with young and experienced players, very talented.
Ragnick will head the team in Thursday’s Manchester United-Arsenal game if his work permit is due.
Otherwise, Michael Carrick will be the manager of Manchester United in this match, who coached the team in the Chelsea match that ended 1-1.
Manchester United are currently eighth in the English Premier League with 18 points from 13 games.
United dismissed Norwegian manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, one of his former football players, such as Michael Carrick, after a 4-1 loss to Watford in London on 21 November.
