Rangnick rejects Bayern
His agent why it never went any further
And much like Bayern the Dortmund directors wouldnt give Rangnick the control that he wants. Dortmund's transfer policy about signing young players develop and sell for a healthy profit is basically the same thing Rangnick been doing for longer. Also Dortmund generally hire young coaches who are trending up. Doll Klopp Tuchel Rose Bosz etc...
Due to stress related illness previously Rangnick has been more DoF than a coach over the last decade. He knows that he isnt a long term coach anymore but he is perfect for a interim/till the end of the season position 1 year type deal which he done at Leipzig twice. But his principles and values of football are currently sitting 1st and 3rd in the PL.
Simple. Klopp and Tuchel have had better players at their disposal.

Fair enough. I said I would stop the slander till he gets into the job. Let's see if it will really be different this time.

All I know is Bernado Silva better be drug tested after this match.
Pep has and is running the most potent drug regime in modern football. His players never fatigue nor ever lose concertation. Spanish footballers, Spanish managers and La Liga teams are the biggest drug cheaters in modern football. The Germans and English are now just catching up. This is where modern football is in 2021. The first thing Xavi asked when offered was the Barcelona job was to bring his own medical team/staff. Modern football is a serious farce.
Look at which teams fell off during last season during strict motoring and covid testing. The teams that play basically the same XI for weeks straight.
If Pep's teams never lost concentration City would have beaten Lyon and Chelsea in CL.
Bernardo built like a 15 year old running around the pitch doing everything he can, probably won't play this weekend. Meanwhile some other dudes just developed asthma in their mid 20s and now habe to take asthma medication to play every week... But Pep is the one running the drugs

It seems you didn’t read my whole post. The Germans, English and the PSG project just caught up to the Spanish what they were doing from 2006-2014ish or so. Pep was caught doping in the early 2000s.
The sudden explosion of Spanish sporting success and destruction of blood samples deliberating by Spanish doctors is a major indication of drug abuse and usage in Spain and Spanish sports.
Drugs give you physical output and endurance but doesn’t equate to decision making and key moments. You still need to execute and make the right call and decision in pivotal moments of football.
You even strengthened my point. Physically Bernardo isn’t special, a specimen nor has great genetics. Yet this man is pressing and running nonstop for 90s minutes with the endurance of marathon runner whilst playing football, and doesn’t even break a sweat nor ever gets fatigued. Reminds me of Iniesta in 2009 UCL final, he was pressing and passing the ball like it was the first minute. It is very clear what modern football has become, the Spanish are the most advance in doping but everyone catching up. Now with Spanish football being broke, even with all the drugs in the world you still need quality players. The money, players and drugs now are in England, France and Germany. Pep saw the writing on the wall. He knows even with drugs, you still need players hence why he always runs to the most financial strongest team.
But this doesn’t excuse everyone else doping and catching up to Spanish doping.
