Will coach Rangnick rescue Dortmund?

A year after rejecting Bayern Munich, former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick is likely to join Borussia Dortmund.

Rangnick intends to retire from the Austrian national team.

Borussia Dortmund are having a difficult season, despite reaching the Champions League quarter-finals. In the Bundesliga, the Ruhr club have dropped to 11th place in the standings, far from securing a Champions League spot for next season.

Dortmund's top management is currently in turmoil. Just over six months after appointing Sven Mislintat as Sporting Director, Dortmund had to sack him. On the coaching bench, after Nuri Sahin was dismissed, Dortmund brought in Niko Kovac on an 18-month contract.

However, coach Kovac has not brought about significant improvement and seems to be only a short-term solution. Dortmund's management team, including Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl, CEO Lars Ricken, and advisor Matthias Sammer, have received much criticism.

Because Dortmund truly needs a groundbreaking change at the macro level, Ralf Rangnick is being considered. According to Bild , the current coach of the Austrian national team could join the club as sporting director.

Rangnick could replace Kehl in this position next summer. Currently, the former Manchester United manager is unhappy with his role as head coach of the Austrian national team due to conflicts with the leaders of the country's Football Federation.

Earlier this winter, he was also considered by Dortmund for the position of head coach to replace Nuri Sahin. The former Leipzig Sporting Director is highly regarded for his team-building abilities, and he is also ready to take on a similar role at Dortmund. Rangnick is even capable of holding both the head coach and sporting director positions simultaneously.
