Ralf Ragnick has been widely-respected throughout the Bundesliga and Germany’s top divisions for decades, but now the former RB Leipzig and Schalke guru will take on a new challenge in the Premier League.
The 63-year-old former Head of Sport and Development at Lokomotiv Moscow will likely finalize a deal at Manchester United next week making him the interim manager at Old Trafford until May, when the club will decide his long-term fate.
In addition to his role as the club’s newest manager, Ragnick has agreed to stay on for two years as a club advisor even if he doesn’t continue as United’s head coach.
To really know Ragnick, it’s important to know his background and some of the managers that will forever be linked with the former holding midfielder.
