Manchester United want to get closer to Chelsea and Liverpool - so they are hiring the manager who inspired the world-class coaches of those Premier League clubs.
Ralph Rangnick and the Red Devils have reached an agreement for the German to become the club's interim boss until the end of this season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking last week.
The 63-year-old, who also has a two-year deal to become a consultant at Old Trafford when his contract ends in May 2022, is known as the 'Godfather of the Gegenpress' and has mentored some of Europe's top managers.
