Ralf Rangnick Is The New West Brom Manager

    According to reports in Germany.

    http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/12/06/02/manual_151728.html&BID=165
    Former Stuttgart and Schalke boss Ralf Rangnick has agreed to become West Brom's new manager, according to reports in Germany.

    Albion held talks with Rangnick last month as they continued their search to find Roy Hodgson's successor.

    And the 53-year-old is reported to have agreed a deal to take the managerial reins at The Hawthorns, having first met with Albion officials when a guest for the final home Premier League game against Arsenal on May 13.

    Compensation was not an issue as Rangnick has been without a club since leaving Schalke eight months ago citing exhaustion.

    He nudged ahead of Birmingham boss Chris Hughton after it emerged Blues were looking for around £2million in compensation.

    Rangnick had two spells at Schalke, leading them to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2010-11, in addition to a four-year stint at Hoffenheim.

    Interesting appointment.

    I think he is still only in discussions with WBA, but at this stage he is the only candidate so it seems likely he will be the next manager. I think it will be a good appointment. WBA have a pretty good squad (mid table standard) so with a few new signings they should be finishing safely inside the top 10.

    Pretty good appointment. I have been impressed with the candidates West Brom have been after. Ranieri, Hughton and Rangnick are good managers.

    Who are the owners there? Are the fans happy with the ownership? They seem to know a good manager anyway unlike other owners.

    A few posters on the Liverpool, superthread were mentioning him as a possible replacement for Roy towards the end of his six months at Anfield.
