It´s been a while, but PodSaveTheBall is back! Ralf Rangnick has been appointed interim manager for Manchester United in an effort to rebuild and steer the club in a new direction. In this chat with my son Markus as the designated interviewer, we attempt to address some of the biggest questions tied to this spectacular appointment. Who is Ralf Rangnick, and why is he held in such high regard in Germany and by the likes of Klopp, Tuchel and Hasenhuttl? What does it say about the direction Manchester United is going in: is Pochettino less likely? What will their transfer policy look like? What will happen to Ronaldo? And will he take the job permanently if given the chance? 

In this episode, I (@JanAageFjortoft) talk to Christian Falk (@cfbayern) about the club´s DNA, their ownership, and why they're nicknamed FC Hollywood.  

Ståle Solbakken is a coach that enjoyed great success during his two managerial spells with FC Copenhagen in Denmark, which led him on a path to both the German Bundesliga and English Championship - two highly different and challenging experiences.

In this episode between the two former Norway teammates, Ståle openly reflects about his surprise departure from FC Copenhagen, his triumphs, his failures, the lessons learned, and the future ahead.
