Ralf Rangnick has snubbed interest from Everton by committing his long-term future to RB Leipzig and penning a contract with the German club.

The 59-year-old has been heavily linked with the manager's job at Everton, who slumped to a 4-1 defeat at Southampton under caretaker boss David Unsworth on Sunday.

However, Rangnick has ruled himself out of the running for the Goodison Park gig by penning a contract extension at Leipzig which runs until 2021.

The Red Bull-backed club is battling for the Bundesliga title once again and currently sit second, just three points behind Bayern Munich, after 13 games.
