Rangnick’s disagreements with Erik ten Hag in a private phone call led to his Man United exit
Rangnick’s disagreements with Erik ten Hag in a private phone call led to his Manchester United departure.
Ralf Rangnick left Manchester United at the end of last season where he was to take in a consultancy role at the club.
Rangnick endured a woeful tenure in the dugout after replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last summer, recording the worst win percentage of any manager in United’s history.
It has been revealed that Rangnick’s disagreement with the new Man United coach led to his early departure.
Rangnick has left Old Trafford to become Austria manager, mutually abandoning plans to fulfill a two-year consultancy role beyond his spell as interim boss.
But concerns over Rangnick’s future rooting from his outspoken press conferences about the club were fuelled by Ten Hag as he was unveiled at Old Trafford last month.
When asked if he was looking forward to working with Rangnick, the straight-faced Dutchman responded, ‘that is on the club’. And shortly after his tenure at the club began, United confirmed Rangnick had left M16 permanently.
He is understood to have shared a two-hour phone call with Ten Hag before his exit, likely giving him a run down of the current squad and his perspective on the club’s future.
However, it seems like the ex-Ajax boss, United football director John Murtough and his deputy, Andy O’Boyle, won’t take many of his thoughts into account.
On a recent podcast, Fabrizio Romano revealed United and Rangnick decided to part ways early because the German and Ten Hag ‘had too many different ideas.
