Ralf Rangnick’s arrival at Manchester United is bad news for the rest of us – Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp admits Ralf Rangnick’s impending arrival at Manchester United is bad news for the club’s Premier League rivals.

Klopp is seen as one of the disciples of his fellow German coach’s gegenpress philosophy, despite having never played for him.

“Unfortunately, a good manager is coming to England to Manchester United,” said Klopp. “United will be organised on the pitch, we should realise that – that’s obviously not good news for other teams.

“He is a really good man and an outstanding coach. He built two clubs from nowhere – Hoffenheim and Leipzig – into proper threats and forces in Germany.

“He did a lot of different jobs in football but always his first concern was being a coach and a manager.

That’s what his best skill is, obviously. Between the coaches [in Germany] he is very highly regarded, and wherever he was he did an incredible job.”

Amid the effusive praise, there was also a warning about the scale of the task.

“All coaches in the world, we need time to train with our teams and Ralf will pretty quickly realise he has no time to train, as they play all the time, so that makes it a bit tricky for him,” said Klopp.
