Ralf Rangnick, the former head of RB Leipzig, is expected to be hired as the club's interim manager on a six-month deal until the conclusion of the season, according to various reports. This is probably so that the club may find a permanent replacement to lead the team ahead in the meantime.

"Get the contract out, put it on the table, and let him sign it," Rio Ferdinand said about now-former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer just under three years ago, and those words will live on in social media forever.
Following Manchester United's victory over Villarreal in caretaker manager Michael Carrick's first game in charge, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher echoed those sentiments this week. You have a feeling this is not the last time you will hear the joke.
It is the start of a new era for Liverpool's archrivals, and reports on Thursday afternoon gave us a glimpse of what that future might hold.
