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.
