Rangnick has coached a number of teams during his long career in football, working mainly in his native Germany.
He has been head coach at clubs such as Stuttgart, Schalke, Hannover 96, Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig.
As well as hands-on coaching, Rangnick has also served as a director of football for teams under the Red Bull enterprise, including Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig and New York Red Bulls.
He has also worked with Russian Premier League team Lokomotiv Moscow in a managerial position.
Rangnick has won seven trophies at various levels across the course of his coaching career.
His most successful period in terms of silverware came during his time at Schalke, where he steered the club to a DFL Ligapokal in 2005, a DFB Pokal in 2010-11 and DFL Supercup in 2011. His tenure in Gelsenkirchen also yielded Bundesliga and DFB Pokal runners-up finishes in 2004-05.
