Will Ralf Rangnick return to Schalke 04?
There are increasing signs that he will not succeed Joachim Löw as national coach.
Schalke - Ralf Rangnick was the preferred coach at the DFB - at least when it comes to Jürgen Klopp *
The Liverpool coach brought Rangnick into play as the successor to Jogi Löw *, who is resigning from his position as national coach after the European Championship in 2021.
Now it is said, according to the Funke media group and the picture, that Rangnick is traded as a sports director at FC Schalke 04.
As the sports magazine Kicker knows, he should not have accepted yet.
Rangnick as Löw's successor?
Or is it Schalke 04?
New national coach, coach in Mönchengladbach or sports director at FC Schalke 04 in the 2nd league?
There are more and more rumors about Ralf Rangnick's future.
The future of the 62-year-old appears completely open.
According to a report by the "WAZ", Rangnick should be ready to lead the rebuilding of the Royal Blues in the long term.
The newspaper referred to Rangnick's environment on Friday.
According to the "Bild", an unspecified group of influential people from business and politics should want to guide Rangnick as sports director to the likely relegation in Gelsenkirchen.
The topic should therefore be discussed in the supervisory board on Friday evening.
Rangnick is brought into conversation by the group
The grouping should also include candidates for the future supervisory board.
Initially, there was neither a reaction from the Rangnick side nor from the club.
According to "Bild", however, there should already be a "basic preliminary agreement" between the Rangnick side and the association.
Rangnick is to be equipped with a long-term contract for an expected five years.
Whether Rangnick will then really return to the Bundesliga is also on the brink, because FC Schalke 04 already has one leg in the second division.
The commitment of the football specialist would be a persona for the future and the reconstruction - possibly in the 2nd division.
According to rumors, he should also be under discussion at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Rangnick has always required a lot of influence in his previous jobs and he wanted to help shape many levels.
It remains to be seen whether this will be well received in Gladbach or at the DFB.
At Gladbach, Max Eberl has a lot to say, at the DFB Oliver Bierhoff is the strong man.
A commitment to FC Schalke and the associated tasks sounds the most sensible.
