England FA Wants To Speak With Ralf Rangnick

 

The FA is keen to speak to former Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick about the vacant England manager's job following Sam Allardyce's departure. The 58years old is currently Director of Sports at Bundesliga club Red Bull Leipzig and was interviewed by the FA at Wembley following the departure of Roy Hodgson after Euro 2016.

Sources understand technical director Dan Ashworth was again impressed by Rangnick. However, the German was later told that the job would be going to an English candidate.

Rangnick, a fluent English-speaker, took Schalke to the Champions League semi-finals in 2011, where they were beaten by Manchester United.
