Rangnick reveals he rejected Chelsea’s interim offer

German tactician Ralf Rangnick has revealed he rejected the Chelsea’s head coach job because it was offered on an interim basis.

Chelsea sacked Frank Lampard on January 25 and employed a protege of Rangnick, Thomas Tuchel. He has now revealed he rejected the Blues offer because he is not an interim manager; “I would like to come and work with you, but I can’t do it for four months. I’m not an interim coach.” Rangnick told The Times.

Rangnick did not rule out the possibility of working in England one day; “It would have to be something special. It depends on the club and whether you want to work with a German coach.”

Rangnick inspired the current generation of German coaches including RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann and current Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
