The former Salzburg sporting director is positioned for the position of German national coach
Ralf Rangnick has expressed interest in the successor to the head of the German soccer team, Joachim Löw. It is a “job that leaves no one indifferent in Germany,” the 62-year-old told Sky on Wednesday. “I can basically imagine anything. For me it is mainly a matter of time. At the moment I am free,” Rangnick said.
The German Football Association (DFB) announced on Tuesday that Löw would stop playing after MS this summer. “With calm and a sense of proportion,” the successor will be sought, said DFB President Fritz Keller. Jürgen Klopp has already canceled with reference to his current contract with Liverpool.
Rangnick, who most recently served as coach and sports director at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga and before that, among other things, was sports director at Red Bull Salzburg, was willing to work with DFB director Oliver Bierhoff. “I imagine that working with Oliver Bierhoff would be very fruitful. It would be useful to have someone who already knows the customs,” said Rangnick, recalling past meetings with the official: “In the DFB, there are many areas worked and thought in the right direction. “
