‘This Guy Is Not Even A Coach… I’d Never Even Heard Of Him’- Cristiano Ronaldo Slams Manchester United Appointment Of Former Manager, Ralf Rangnick

Cristiano Ronaldo launched an astonishing attack on former Manchester United interim coach Ralf Rangnick in his recent interview with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo has sensationally spoken out against Manchester United and several aspects of the club, including current manager Erik ten Hag, club legend Wayne Rooney, and Rangnick, who coached the side last season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left the club.

In the interview, Ronaldo insisted he had never heard of Rangnick before he arrived at United, before claiming the German ‘is not even a coach’.

‘After Ole, they bring in sport directive Ralf Rangnick, which is something nobody understands’, he said.

‘This guy is not even a coach. A big club like Manchester United bringing in a sport directive surprised not only me but all the world.

‘If you’re not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I’d never even heard of him.’

Rangnick had coached at the likes of Schalke, Hoffenheim and Leipzig, having first coaching in the 1980s, before joining United.

He was brought into United as interim coach with the intention of the 64-year-old taking up a consultancy role at the end of the season, which didn’t materialise.
