Ralf Rangnick announces intention to continue as Austria’s head coach

Ralf Rangnick has declared his intention to continue serving as Austria’s head coach, eyeing Euro 2024.

The 65-year-old, previously interim manager at Manchester United, was a leading candidate for the Bayern job.

Despite Austria facing a tough group at the upcoming tournament, Rangnick is determined to lead them, citing their recent strong performances under his guidance.

His decision prioritizes the Austrian national team’s goals over club management.

Meanwhile, Bayern’s search for top coaches has hit obstacles, as Xabi Alonso and Julian Nagelsmann have also opted to stay in their current positions.

With Thomas Tuchel aiming for another Champions League title with Bayern, the club faces uncertainty in their coaching pursuit, compounded by Rangnick’s commitment to Austria.
