Surprising Sight: Former Man Utd Manager Spotted Riding an E-Bike on the Pitch During World Cup Qualifier Half-Time

RALF RANGNICK made an unexpected entrance on an E-BIKE, crossing the pitch to enter the tunnel during Austria’s World Cup qualifier.

The former Manchester United manager was leading the Wunderteam against Bosnia and Herzegovina when he chose to ride the bicycle.

At 67 years old, Rangnick was seen swiftly moving across the field at Stadion Bilino Polje during the half-time break.

The coach passed all the players before dismounting just before heading into the tunnel.

While Rangnick was biking, Bosnia’s coach Sergej Barbarez was seen walking and acknowledging the home supporters.

This unusual event had an important reason, as Rangnick recently underwent emergency ankle surgery over the summer.

His initial surgery went well, but complications arose due to an infection.

Rangnick had to return to the hospital for a follow-up operation.

He is currently managing his recovery with an emphasis on limiting his mobility.

However, he likely had a reason to celebrate after Austria’s 2-1 triumph in their World Cup qualifier.

The result positions Rangnick’s team with 12 points, just behind Bosnia on goal difference but with a match in hand.

Rangnick served as the interim manager for United during the latter part of the 2021/22 season.

During that time, he managed 29 matches, securing 11 wins versus just 8 losses.
