"Unfortunately a good coach is coming to England, that's how it is, to Manchester United.”
Jurgen Klopp was far from delighted when Ralf Rangnick, the ‘godfather of gegenpressing’ and a man he considered to be, ‘one of the best, if not the best German coach,’ was appointed interim manager at Old Trafford in November 2021, having been lured away from his role as manager of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow.
"Ralf is obviously a really experienced manager. He built most famously two clubs from nowhere to proper threats and forces in Germany with Hoffenheim and Leipzig,” the Liverpool manager said of his compatriot. “United will be organised on the pitch, we should realise that - that's obviously not good news for other teams."
