From Red Bull to Red Devils: Ralf Rangnick and Thierry Henry were candidates for Belgium coaching job

Belgium's Red Devils almost put themselves in the hands of a pair of Red Bulls, according to Het Laatste Nieuws.

The Belgian FA's search for a new national team manager reportedly boiled down to a three-candidate shortlist: Roberto Martinez (who won the gig), Rudi Garcia, and Ralf Rangnick.

Rangnick's involvement is no rumor. The RB Leipzig Sporting Director confirmed he had been approached by Belgium in an interview with German outlet Sport 1. Rangnick told Sport 1 he had not been willing to abandon his project at Red Bull Global Soccer, and a dual role running Belgium and Leipzig was "unworkable".
