Ten Hag was announced as the Reds’ next manager on Thursday and he will take over from Rangnick at the end of the current campaign.
Ralf is yet to speak to Erik on a one-to-one basis but he has been impressed with the job the 52-year-old has done at Ajax, with the Amsterdam club closing in on a third Eredivisie title in four years under Ten Hag, with the other campaign curtailed due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
“We don't know each other in person, we haven't met in person yet,” Rangnick told reporters at his pre-match press conference before the trip to Arsenal.
