Rangnick: RB Leipzig could have been a master if Haaland had come!

Leipzig, Deutschland - Ralf Rangnick, the former coach and sports director of RB Leipzig, causes a sensation with his statements about the missed title chances of the club. Between 2012 and 2020, Rangnick was decisive for the rise and development of the team, but the big championship title has been left out to this day. In an interview with the Bild newspaper, he said: "Right" when the question was asked whether Leipzig would have been master under his leadership. He emphasizes that he was active in management positions for many years and was able to give decisive impulses even after the ascent and in the 2019 cup final.

The missed transfer from Erling Haaland is particularly painful for Rangnick. The Norwegian superstar moved from Moldde FK to Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 and only completed a contract at BVB a year later. Rangnick would have loved to see Haaland near Leipzig before he came to his breakthrough. "If you had given him a five -year contract, then RB would have been master at least once," Rangnick is certain. He criticizes that Leipzig missed the opportunity to hire Haaland while the player at Salzburg under Marco Rose hardly got into the train.

In a critical moment before Haaland's change, there was an exit clause for 20 million euros, about which only RB Leipzig was informed. Rangnick tries to clarify that more commitment and vision would have been possible with simultaneous commitment and vision. Now the fans and those responsible for Leipzig only have the question of how the story would have gone with Rangnick and Haaland, this opportunity would have been used, as well as rblive reports .
