Just days after his appointment as head coach of RB Leipzig, one of his star players is being snaffled away by Liverpool. In his previous role at Red Bull Salzburg, the club's social media even joked about it.

Jurgen Klopp is a long-time admirer, once describing Rangnick as "one of the best if not the best German coach" of them all.
