Current Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been appointed the head coach of the Austrian national team, signing a two-year deal.
It was announced on Friday morning that Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick will take charge of the Austrian national team starting next season.
Erik ten Hag has now been announced as the new permanent United manager for next season, and Rangnick has taken that as a chance to pursue other options of his own.

Despite enjoying a successful 40-year coaching career, his role in Austria will be the first in charge of a national team, Their failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup means Rangnick’s main priority will be leading the side to the 2024 Euros.
