FootballMan United Cut Ties with Ralf Rangnick Permanently After Dismal Spell as Interim Boss
- Manchester United have announced Ralf Rangnick will be leaving Old Trafford permanently this summer
- Rangnick, who has been in charge of the club on an interim basis was scheduled to take over a consultancy role at Old Trafford this summer
- However, that will not be the case, with the Red Devils opting to axe the German tactician altogether
Manchester United have resolved to permanently cut ties with Ralf Rangnick after a troubled spell as the club's interim boss.
Rangnick took charge of the Red Devils back in December 2021, replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who had been sacked at the time.
The German boss was appointed on a temporary basis for the rest of the just-concluded 2021.22 season.
The Sun reports the former RB Leipzig boss was scheduled to step up for a consultancy role after the conclusion of the season to pave way for a new permanent manager.
Man United announce Ralf Rangnick's permanent departure
However, United have decided Rangnick will not be staying at the club as was previously planned, with the German now set to depart Old Trafford permanently.
The Old Trafford dwellers made the announcement on Sunday, May 29, with the club revealing the decision was reached after the two parties mutually agreed to part ways.
“We would like to thank Ralf Rangnick for his efforts as interim manager over the past six months," Man United announced in a statement.
“By mutual agreement, Ralf will now focus solely on his new role as manager of the Austria national team and will not therefore be taking up a consultancy role at Old Trafford.
“We would like to wish Ralf the best of luck in this next chapter of his career," the club added.
It is believed United decided to get rid of Rangnick altogether after a troubled loan spell.
The tactician was unable to steady the ship after he took charge, with United posting the lowest point tally in their Premier League history.
