Hoffenheim coach Ralf Rangnick would relish the chance to manage a Premier League club, although there have not yet been any enquiries from England, according to his agent Oliver Mintzlaff.

The 52-year-old has been linked with replacing Roy Hodgson at Liverpool after leaving the Bundesliga club on New Year’s Day, and Mintzlaff has admitted that his client would jump at the chance to further his career in England.

“Ralf Rangnick is very interested in the Premier League and Liverpool is certainly a very interesting club with a great tradition,” he said.

“Ralf is a great fan of English football and he has followed it a great deal.

“The English Premier League is something which interests him very much, but there have not been any discussions with Liverpool.”

Rangnick left Hoffenheim after four and a half years in charge at the turn of the year due to a difference of opinion with the club’s owner Dietmar Hopp.
