As Italian transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano suggested,the “Godfather ofgegenpressing”will sign a six-month deal, with a contractclausethat would allow him to continue working at Old Trafford, but undera newrole of a club consultant.
However, a new andinteresting detail has recently emerged, as Romano now claims that the German ace would not close the door on the head coach job, should the English club decide to hire him permanently. “Manchester United confirmed to Ralf Rangnick his ‘consultancy’ role from June 2022 until 2024 – but Ralf would be interested in taking the full-time manager role if offered,” wrote the Italian journalist on Twitter.
