Everton is on the hunt for a new manager after Carlo Ancelotti left for Real Madrid. Several candidates have been mentioned as possible replacements like Nuno Espirito Santo, David Moyes, Duncan Ferguson and many others. One name that surely grabs attention is of Ralf Rangnick.
Rangnick has not held any managerial post since 2019 after he moved to the role of Head of development for Red Bull sides across the globe. He is one of the most philosophy driven managers out there and has inspired a bunch of German managers through his philosophy and teachings. He can be credited for being one of the first visionaries for Gegenpressing and popularizing this style.
Everton have been trapped in the malicious cycle of instability with none of the previous four managers – Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce, Marco Silva and Carlo Ancelotti – have not lasted more than 18 months at the helm. Two of the aforementioned were fired, one left the job after seven months and one left when Real Madrid came calling.
Everton director of football Marcel Brands has reportedly been overwhelmed with as many as 40 enquiries about the vacant job. The Toffees are studying several managers. Whether Ralf Rangnick is there in Brands’ list or not, he needs to be considered.
