News about Ralf Rangnick

MATT BARLOW: Thomas Tuchel made goals flow for Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane. He created systems to coax consistency from the temperamental talents of Neymar, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele. He won the Champions League with Timo Werner up front. Put it like that and it is easy to see why the FA have been seduced.

A damning defeat at home to Manchester United - their second 3-0 league loss at Old Trafford already this season - has fingers firmly pointed at boss Erik ten Hag, While Manchester United are standing by Ten Hag and sources have indicated a level of calm amid the storm that is surrounding him post-Tottenham, pressure is ramping up on the Dutchman. Sunday's disappointing display saw many of Ten Hag's signings called into question after an outlay of more than £600million since he took the reins from interim boss Ralf Rangnick ahead of the 2022-23 season. Mail Sport runs through every signing made by Ten Hag at Manchester United and grades the move out of 10.

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he misses life as a football manager, in his first extended interview in years.  The iconic manager retired from management at the end of the 2012-13 season, after leading Manchester United to their 13th Premier League title in what was his 27th year at the club. United have struggled for success ever since his departure with Manchester City leading the way for much of the last decade.  

Ralf Rangnick has claimed he was 'right' about Manchester United , sending out a fresh warning to manager Erik Ten Hag . The Red Devils have continued to struggle after the German boss left the club at the end of the 2021-22 season having guided the side to a record low Premier League points total of 58. Last campaign they finished in eighth spot on just 60 points with Ten Hag only clinging on to his job thanks to a victory over bitter rivals Man City in the FA Cup final. And this season is not looking much better, with United already having slipped to two bitter defeats, including a humiliating 3-0 loss at home to Liverpool , in the first three matches.

CHRIS WHEELER: United's 3-0 loss raised fresh doubts over Ten Hag after he narrowly avoided the axe this summer and signed a one-year contract extension. But chief executive Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth, who both started work at the club in July, remain firmly behind the Dutchman. Berrada insisted that the support would remain even if United's poor start continues, after Ten Hag lost two of his first three Premier League games this season.

Van Gaal stepped down from his role as head coach of the Netherlands national side after the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, having revealed his shock diagnosis. The former Ajax, Barcelona and Manchester United boss disclosed he was being treated for an aggressive form of cancer which he had hidden from his players. But the Dutchman, who requires regular radiation therapy and needed urine bags, struck an optimistic tone when discussing his condition in a TV appearance. He took charge of Manchester United between 2014 and 2016 and lifted the FA Cup during his final campaign before being brutally dismissed. After a five-year break, Van Gaal returned to the Netherlands job in 2021.

Erik ten Hag has admitted former Man United boss Ralf Rangnick was right in saying the club needed 'open heart surgery' and claims they are still 'really far from winning titles'.   Rangnick took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on an interim basis and led United to a sixth-place finish and 58 points back in the 2021-22 season, often outlining the club's shortcomings in a brutal fashion, even claiming they were six years behind Liverpool. He said the issues ran so deep at Old Trafford that major structural changes were needed from top to bottom: 'You don't even need glasses to see and analyse where the problems are.

Ecstatic Turkey fans shot fireworks and celebrated in the streets across Europe and following their team's triumphant 2-1 victory over Austria in the Euros this evening. Explosions lit up the night sky in Berlin in the aftermath of Tuesday's Round of 16 fixture in Leipzig, Saxony - as groups waving Turkey flags took to the streets to revel in their historic win. Police clad in riot gear arrived on scene to break up some of the groups as they tried to stop the celebrations getting out of hand.

Ralf Rangnick seemed to take a swipe at England , France and Portugal following Austria's elimination from Euro 2024. Austria were knocked out at the last-16 stage after suffering a 2-1 defeat by Turkey, despite being favourites for the clash. Vincenzo Montella's side went 2-0 up thanks to a brace from Martin Demiral, before Michael Gregoritsch pulled a goal back for Austria, but they were unable to level.

Turkey goalkeeper Mert Gunok helped his nation into the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 with a stunning last-gasp save against Austria. With Turkey 2-1 up in the match thanks to a brace from Martin Demiral, Ralf Rangnick 's side were piling on the pressure after Michael Gregoritsch had pulled a goal back. After the four minutes of added time were up, Alexander Prass looped a cross into the box, and Christoph Baumgartner headed an effort on goal that looked to be nestling in the corner.

AUSTRIA 1-2 TURKEY - IAN HERBERT AT THE RED BULL ARENA: A wild, raw, febrile night of tournament football as it should be - teams playing as if their lives depended upon it and many, many people in red, frantically bouncing up and down in the rain. Austria came with their engineered pressing method, put in place by a German coach, Ralf Rangnick, someone once called 'The Professor' and a hell of a lot of belief, given the 6-1 swatting they'd given the Turks in Vienna in March. But Turkey had something unquantifiable, unpredictable, feverish even, borne of a force of support in this country which has been with them all along. They started with two teenagers in their number - the first team to do so at these finals since 1964 - and met fire with fire, pace with pace, energy with unrelenting energy.

Austria have arguably been the biggest surprise package at Euro 2024.  Entering the tournament as sizeable 50/1 outsiders to win the tournament, Ralf Rangnick's side have shortened considerably to 18/1 following an impressive group stage that saw them defeat Poland and the Netherlands.  While their run at the tournament thus far has been impressive, they will be tested in their round of 16 match-up tonight when they take on dark horses Turkey.

The group stage of Euro 2024 has finally come to an end and it's now been revealed which fans were treated to the most and least exciting groups.  As the Three Lions gear up for their last-16 clash with Slovakia on Sunday afternoon, they'll perhaps be hoping for more firepower up front after scoring just two goals.  And the stats show that England in fact were part of the least exciting group at the tournament after watching just seven goals go in.

"It's All Kicking Off: Euros Daily' returns for another installment. In the latest episode: why England need our full backing, if Jude Bellingham should retain his place in the starting XI and whether ITV have made the correct commentary decision. Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Craig Hope.

There were own goals and wonder goals. There were script-changing late goals. Records were shattered, hearts broken and noses busted in the group stage of Euro 2024. There were bright shiny newbies and great golden oldies. Unlikely heroes burst from the fringes. There were pink kits and pretzels, armies of tartan, invasions of orange. Blaring car horns of late-night celebration, doner kebabs and mighty steins of ale.

IAN LADYMAN: There is a natural instinct in this country to belittle other sporting nations and it's unattractive. I was guilty of it on our 'Its All Kicking Off' podcast yesterday when I said that England's side of the draw in Euro 2024 resembled the bottom half of the Championship. That was a stupid thing to say. Just for clicks, as Harry Kane may observe. I was in Frankfurt last Sunday as Switzerland came within a couple of minutes of beating Germany. They would have deserved their victory. Turkey have fanatical support all across Germany and have come through a difficult group with more points than England did in theirs. As for our next opponents, well we played Slovakia in the first phase of Euro 2016 in France and drew 0-0.

A mass brawl broke out between both sets of players following the full time whistle in Czechia's Euro 2024 match against Turkey on Wednesday night. Turkey had just prevailed 2-1 in Hamburg to book a last-16 tie with Austria, while the result meant Czechia were eliminated after finishing bottom of Group F. But the final whistle did not signal the end of the action, as players from both sides confronted each other in chaotic scenes.

Having just watched their team claim a thrilling victory over the Netherlands to finish top of Group D, the Austria fans basked in the Berlin sunshine on Tuesday afternoon. Ralf Rangnick and his players were afforded a standing ovation as they embraced their supporters at full-time in the Olympiastadion. In what was probably the game of the tournament so far, Austria were quite magnificent. For 90 minutes, they hounded the Netherlands and were thoroughly deserving of their 3-2 victory.

Dutch journalists have admitted their dismay over The Netherlands' performances at Euro 2024 and are not hopeful of the team's chances of progressing past the round of 16, as they claim Ronald Koeman's side 'need a lot of luck'. Depending on how Group E and Group F finish on Wednesday evening, The Netherlands could be set to face off against Gareth Southgate's England side in their opening knockout clash at the tournament. It came after Koeman's side slumped to a third-place finish in Group D after they suffered a 3-2 defeat by Austria. Marcel Sabitzer's 80th-minute winner saw Ralf Rangnick's side leapfrog both France and The Netherlands to top the group after Didier Deschamps' side drew 1-1 with Poland.

NETHERLANDS 2-3 AUSTRIA - RIATH AL-SAMARRAI IN BERLIN: As the messy permutations for the round of 16 contorted and changed through this wild match, one thought crystalised in the madness: Austria are a side England should not wish to meet in a hurry. If there was a second instinct, it was to wonder once again how the manager of carthorses at Manchester United has made such compelling dark horses of his side at these championships. Good for Ralf Rangnick , good for Austria, bad for anyone who takes them lightly. Arriving here, there was no guarantee they would progress from a group containing France and the Netherlands. To top it? Well, that really is impressive and their elevation to a different sector of the draw ought to be a source of relief for England.

The supporter fell three metres from the stand into the depression next to pitch-level at Berlin's Olympic Stadium and was knocked out. The nature and extent of the fan's injuries are unknown, as is his current condition, though they are reported to be 'severe' by the dpa press agency. Austria beat Poland 3-1 to knock them out of Euro 2024 on Friday.

IAN HERBERT AT THE OLYMPIASTADION: It was to Ralf Rangnick that striker Christopher Baumgartner ran after he had despatched the decisive second goal which creates the very realistic prospect that Austria will actually progress from this tournament's Group of Death. There was something rather fitting about that. Rangnick might have been shown the door at Manchester United and considered something of a control freak there, but since taking his leave in the winter of 2022, he has brought his 'gegenpressing' game to this small football nation and seen it take root. 'He's brought a new buzz in the country', forward Nicolas Seiwald said in an interview with UEFA.com this week and that was certainly true last night, as the Austrians all-but eliminated Poland, who have no points and the French still left to play.

Despite approaching his 56th year, Didier Deschamps still performs an extraordinary daily feat many of the players in his France squad would find impossible. The World Cup winning player and manager watched his side claim a hard-fought 1-0 win over Austria in their Euro 2024 opener on Monday night. A first-half own goal from Maximilian Wober was enough for Les Blues to get past Ralf Rangnick 's stubborn side. Unfortunately for the European giants, victory came at a cost as their captain and star man Kylian Mbappe was forced off after sustaining a broken nose. It has since been reported that the 25-year-old will miss the remainder of the group stage.
