Newcastle United have been linked with so many new faces since their takeover went through on Thursday, with Ralf Rangnick now wanted.

The Magpies have new owners after Mike Ashley finally sold up to a Saudi-led consortium last week.

Big moves are now expected, and The Chronicle claim that Newcastle want to bring in Ralf Rangnick as a sporting director.

Rangnick is keen on the role and has been put forward to Newcastle, whose owners have a long-standing interest according to The Times.

The 63-year-old has built up quite the reputation during his time in football.

His role at Red Bull saw RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg recruit like nobody else in the world, whilst his tactical approach inspired Jurgen Klopp.

Newcastle fans react to Rangnick rumours

Understandably, rumours of Rangnick possibly heading to Tyneside have sparked real excitement amongst Newcastle fans.

Supporters have been taking to Twitter to suggest that Rangnick is a ‘serious heavy hitter’ and would be an ‘insane’ appointment.

Others raved about Rangnick’s ‘amazing’ mind for football, claiming a deal would be ‘epic’.

Others feel that Rangnick would be a ‘game changer’ for Newcastle, with fans clamouring for him to be brought in.
