Will Gerhard Struber become Ralf Rangnick’s assistant at Manchester United?

Ralf Rangnick was introduced as Manchester United’s interim coach at a press conference on Friday. If you believe media rumors, Austrian Gerhard Struber could follow as an assistant.

“The challenge is enormous. But I’m really looking forward to working with these players here,” said Ralf Rangnick on Friday when he was introduced as Manchester United interim coach.

As the Sun reports, the former Red Bull Salzburg maker could get help from Austria: Gerhard Struber, coach of the New York Red Bulls, is to become an assistant to the German. Accordingly, Rangnick approached the 44-year-old. Struber is under contract in New York until the end of 2023.

Rangnick already knows Struber from his time in Salzburg. At that time Rangnick was working as a sports director, Struber coaching the offspring of the bulls.

Between 2019 and 2020, Struber successfully coached Barnsley FC and gained experience in England.
