Rumor: England wants Ralf Rangnick

England's Men's National Team needs a new head coach, after an acute case of embarrassment forced Sam Allardyce to resign the position.

Allardyce's abrupt departure has seen Gareth Southgate hastily appointed as interim manager for England's October games. Southgate is well-regarded by the sort of people who pick the head coach of England, but he has also already turned down the job once - so there is a vacuum the British press is eager to fill.

Sky Sports has thrown a surprising name into the mix: Ralf Rangnick.

Rangnick is not particularly well known in England, which is why some articles reporting the latest rumor about him describe him as "former Schalke boss", which is true but also dated.
