If Ralf Rangnick is appointed as Manchester United manager, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expects "outstanding" Ralf Rangnick to make a difference. If Ralf Rangnick is appointed as Manchester United manager, Klopp admits it will be "not good news" for the rest of the Premier League.
Rangnick, who is now the head of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow in Russia, is set to take over as temporary manager at Old Trafford until the end of the season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired earlier this month.
Klopp met the 63-year-old during his coaching career in Germany, where he worked with Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, and has long admired Rangnick's teams' style.
And Klopp has hinted that with his compatriot in charge, United will become a greater threat.
Klopp stated, "Unfortunately, a good coach is coming to England, that's how it is, to Manchester United."
"Ralf is clearly an accomplished manager. With Hoffenheim and Leipzig, he famously transformed two clubs from nothing to legitimate threats and forces in Germany." He accomplished a variety of tasks in football, although his main focus was always on coaching and managing. Obviously, that is his strongest skill." United will be well-organized on the field, as we all know - this is obviously bad news for the other teams!"
However, all coaches in the world require time to practice with their teams, and Ralf will quickly discover that he has no time to train because they play all the time, which makes things difficult for him.
"Apart from that, if it occurs, a genuinely good man and an outstanding coach will come to England."
Rangnick has only one major award to his name: the German Cup with Schalke in 2011, but he has established an impressive reputation for turning around troubled teams.
And Klopp has revealed what happened after his first match against Rangnick, when he was still cutting his teeth at Mainz.
