Arsenal considering Ralf Rangnick as next manager?

RB Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick has become the latest name to be linked with Arsenal as their search for a new manager gets underway.

According to Sky Sports News, the Gunners have already set up meetings with potential successors to Arsene Wenger, who will leave the Emirates Stadium after 22 years at the end of the season.

Candidates including former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique and ex-Arsenal player Mikel Arteta have previously been linked with the role, but the latest report suggests that Rangnick is also in the frame.

The German has prior coaching experience with Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, who he took from the third tier of German football to the Bundesliga.

Other coaches rumoured to be in contention include Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel and former Gunners stars Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.
