Ralf Rangnick named new Austria head coach
The Austrian Football Association has confirmed an initial two-year deal for Ralf Rangnick, with an option for two more years.
Update:
Ralf Rangnick has been confirmed as the head coach of Austria’s national team.
Rangnick will continue in his role as the interim boss of Manchester United, a position he has held since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was dismissed in November, until the end of the season.
The 63-year-old will prepare Austria for Nations League fixtures against Croatia, Denmark and France at the start of May.
A statement from the Austrian Football Association (OFB) confirmed Rangnick’s contract will initially last two years but, should they qualify for Euro 2024 in Germany, the deal will be extended through to the 2026 World Cup.
